Comedian and Spitfire Comedy boss Kimberley Maberley calls Kimmi’s mobile from the comfort of her Barbie Oodie.

This episode features comedian Adam Bloom breaking down the tactical stand-up strategies detailed in his 2023 book. He explains why comedians should never end a set with crowd work, emphasizing the necessity of delivering a structured, prepared show to a paying audience. Bloom shares his approach to surviving notoriously difficult rooms, such as corporate events and sports clubs, where acknowledging a bad setup or knowing when to leave early can save your dignity. The discussion also covers the nuances of testing new material on stage. Bloom advises comedians to try untested jokes when a set is going averagely, rather than risking the momentum of an amazing gig or digging a deeper hole during a bad one. Additionally, he highlights the importance of leaning into a recognizable stage uniform to establish authority and reflects on his early career navigating the comedy circuit with comics like Ross Noble and Ed Byrne.
