The Dave Weekly

It’s the end of another series, the end of another year, and if the Mayans get their way, it may well be the end of the world too by the time you read this. For our last episode we have two great new comedians to get you excited about the new year. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The mild mannered Englishman, Humphrey Ker, gives us his side of the story regarding the weird and wonderful world of The Penny Dreadful's slash stories, while Katherine Ryan tries to convince us that she didn't grow up in Narnia.

Award-winning Australian comedian, radio and TV presenter and all round hilarious human being Sam Simmons joins us on the pod this week and if that wasn't enough we also have Joe Lycett returning to what can only be assumed as the new Dave Weekly co-host the amount of times he’s been on.

The comedian novelist Russell Kane and comedian sitcom writer Jason Cook join us on the podcast this week to talk about their lives so far. Both of which are heavily influenced by their parents. Coincidence?

As a stand-up, it’s one thing to die on stage – but what happens when people die just before you go on stage? Brilliant Irish comic Andrew Maxwell reveals all. Is it a conspiracy? Probably not, but as the presenter of ‘Conspiracy Roadtrip’, Andrew has a thing or two to say about wacky theories, alien prisons and the mysterious Area 51. Plus, rough-round-the-edges stand-up Rob Beckett tries high-class wine tasting and ex-Daily Star hack Rich Peppiatt talks about turning the tables on his former bosses by exposing the mucky world of the tabloid press.

Don’t miss Andrew Maxwell’s One Night Stand, Wednesday 12th December at 10pm on Dave, also featuring Pat Cahill and Chris Ramsey. It’s funny and that.

Doug Naylor comes in to Dave HQ for his follow-up chat about series X of the brilliant new series and is joined by Yorkshire funny man Paul Tonkinson who talks about the big three, TV, radio and comedy. Strap in!

The Burger van owner and plastic bag carrying comedian Angelos Epithemiou joins us at Dave Towers for an in depth chat about playing behind the bins with sir Ranulph Fiennes and the heavy metal comedian Steve Hughes gets all conspiratorial about the state of our dear nation... It's satire, but not as we know it.

The wild haired pun-meister, Milton Jones, has breezed into Dave towers for a chat on the Dave couch and Phil Nichol comes in to talk about his multi-award winning shows. Plus Adam Hess gives you all some terrible advice. What more could you possibly want.

Lee Nelson is in da house! He's talkin' laydeeez, chat up lines and much more with our resident podder Ben Shires and if that wasn't enough for your comedy lovin' ears we've also got the brilliant and utterly hilarious Celia Pacquola. Qualiteee!

In the first part of two, we have been joined by the brilliant Doug Naylor to talk about all things Red Dwarf from the origins right up to series ten. And as if that wasn't enough we have two back stage interviews from the Birmingham gig of Comedy in the Dark with Josh Widdicombe, Ivo Graham, Joe Lycett and David Morgan.
