Griff Rhys Jones is a Welsh comedian, writer, actor and television presenter. In this rare, lengthy and in-depth interview we discussed his origins in the industry, how he made award-winning but not profit making radio adverts which led him into TV and now, in his "retirement" he's taken up stand up and is trying to build himself a live audience.

A firm friend and supporter of the podcast, Mark Boosey, has launched an awesome new side of the British Comedy Guide for comedians / performers called "Pro".

Rob Kemp (@RobotKemp) is the creator of the show the Elvis Dead (@ReadElvisDead). This show has won or been nominated for over a dozen awards including Leicester Comedy Festival Awards Best Show, Best Musical Show, Best Poster, The Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer and Chortle's best newcomer and music / variety act. After so much success, how has this changed Rob’s career? How is he dealing with the pressure of writing a follow up show? What is the future for the Elvis Dead and more?
This is an in-depth look into what it is like to get a lot of success in a very short space of time after a long time of not getting that much attention. Are awards worth what we’re told they are? Do they help sell a show? Which ones have the most impact if any?

Doug Stanhope (@DougStanhope) is a comedian, writer and podcaster with nearly 30 years of performing under his belt. After cutting his teeth on the open mic circuit, Doug moved into MCing a “crappy” hotel gig which gave him the taste of being a “comedian with a point of view”. Since then he’s spent his time building his cult-like following and touring with his brash, honest, loud and often controversial style of comedy.
I got him on to talk about...
-Building his audience from scratch one email at a time (before social media
-Why he started his podcast
-What he hates about clubs and the club circuit in general.
-How and why he puts up boundaries that keep fans as fans and not friends
-Why he wouldn't laugh at his own jokes or act.

Ben Verth (@benverth) is the founder of Monkey Barrel comedy club. A purpose-built venue in the heart of Edinburgh, but above, he's a good friend of mine. In an interesting twist the normal format I invited him on to interview me. That's right, for one episode only we're going to have a little look back over the first 100 episodes in what I am going to call Comedy 101.
I got him to talk to me about (he wrote the questions, so this is just some highlights)...
-What I’ve learned in the last 100 interviews.
-What I’ve got out of the podcast (both good and bad).
-The positive and negative points of making a podcast and building a community.
-How has the podcast changed from my perspective and has impacted anything in my live career

Jon Montague (@montiQu) is the head comedy commissioner at Sky TV. He heads up a team of diligent commissioning editors who are tasked with finding and making funny shows to entertain their 11 million subscribers. More recently Jon has also dipped his toe into podcasting and we got into what it's like making high end, high budget TV programs by day and low budget, low tech podcasts by night and how that's given him a new outlook on the internet, content and more.
I got him on to talk about...
-What makes a hit show on Sky and how he measures a hit show.
-Do they take unsolicited scripts?
-What makes a hit (to him and his team)?
-How he uses Edinburgh to scout for new talent
-What’s it like making TV for 11 million subscribers and then going home to make an episode of his niche podcast to a significantly lower number of subscribers.

Ben Verth (@benverth) and John Millar (@JohnMillarComic) are two of the four Barrel boys who founded Monkey Barrel comedy (@barrelcomedy) club. This amazing purpose built venue rose from the ashes of Ben's first club in the Grassmarket known as the Beehive and we get into the future of Scottish comedy, the Edinburgh Fringe and why they were so secretive about the new venture.
I got them on to talk about...
- Why they felt the Edinburgh Fringe needs another comedy venue.
- What the future of the festival looks like to them
- Why the "power" of so many venues shouldn't be held by two massive Free Fringe / Festival offerings.
- Why they didn't crowdfund the new venue
- Why they were so secretive about the project before "going live" to the Scottish comedy community.

INCOMING...here comes a little bit of cross-promotion.
Hello, Ask The Industry listeners....
I'll keep this brief.
I've been working on another podcast for 3 years. It's taken me 2 years to learn how to edit to a skill level that means I can do this show and another year to create the first episode, why?
The show is where the guest comes on, leaves 15-20 questions, then a year later comes back on and answers them. I then edit it so they're talking to their past self.
It's called The Audio Time Capsule. It's my best work in an audio medium by a country mile and I'm stupidly proud of it. I'd really love it if you could support my work by giving it a listen or subscribing.

We talked about how you process with NCF, the difference in audiences from place to place in the midlands and why she does no free comedy nights (even her new material one is £1 entry). This is a far cry from London where every open mic or new material night is free.

Milton Jones ( @TheMiltonJones ) is a one-liner powerhouse with a strong work ethic and an interesting approach to how he see's his on stage self as a cartoon rather than a comedian or a character.
We talked about -
- Is comedy still a stepping stone to “something else”?
- His frustrations with getting work commissioned on TV (or the lack of it).
- Did doing something a bit “different” / weird help him in his early career and has he benefitted from having promoters wanting “variety” How was his mental health while discovering his voice?
- How does he get useful feedback now that he’s well known?
- Why he enjoys dealing with hecklers and how he does that in character.
- How he deals with imposter syndrome.

Barry Ferns (@barryferns) started Angel Comedy (@angelcomedy) 6 years ago in 2010 as an open mic night to give himself more stagetime. Since then it has expanded and now runs comedy shows 7 nights a week. More recently the core team and their volunteer army have crowdfunded to lease their very own venue, just down the road from the original. They raised £46,643 from 1049 in 30 days.
I got on Barry and former comedian, now Angel booker / show manager / venue manager / everything Sarah Pearce to talk about how they did it and what we can learn from them.
This interview blew me away and by the end we were talking philosophy and finding what you want to do in life, and always working towards that. Specific subjects we covered included -
- How Angel has built it's reputation on the clubs ethos alone.
- How to build a community around a comedy club.
- The teamwork and DIY attitude that embodies the entire groups mentality towards work.
- Why they decided to buy a pub and when they felt was the best time to take that risk.
- Why Sarah quit stand up and why Barry see's his career as a constant process of making stuff and staying in the industry.
- How to find an audience for your shows/ gigs / comedy club.
- How they've made the free model work in London (UK).
AND MORE!
This podcast would be useful for anyone who is a fan of Angel Comedy and the work they do be you a performer or an audience member who has attended one (or several) of their shows. Or someone looking at setting up a comedy club and you're not sure of how to build an audience for it. Or you might just be a comedian who wants to know more about the free economy and how it works.

Michael Redmond (@redmondmichael1) is an Irish stand-up comedian from Blackrock, Dublin best known for playing Father Stone in the Father Ted episode "Entertaining Father Stone". He has a deadpan style of delivery which has led to him becoming a dependable and experienced performer of quotable, but hard to replicate gags... having said that one of his jokes was famously stolen by Joe Pasquale and we get into how he felt about that and the subsequent joke written by Stewart Lee. Redmond began his career as a writer for Irish radio and television, before moving to London and launching a successful stand-up career as a writer and a performer.
I got him on the podcast to talk about -
- What was it like for him when Stewart Lee mentioned him in a joke about Joe Pasquale being a joke thief.
- How Father Ted did not make that much of an impact on his career.
- Why he has cut back on live work to focus on writing.
- Why he moved from Ireland to London to Glasgow as a comedian.
- How the live comedy circuit has changed since he started
AND MORE!
This podcast would be useful to anyone who is a fan of Father Ted or Michael that wants to know more about what goes on behind the scenes or a comedian looking to go full time / build a career in comedy.

The Edinburgh Fringe is a fickle place and comedians (as well as all other types of performers) use everything at their disposal to stack the deck in their favour. From PRs to giant posters I got a panel of comedy industry experts together to discuss what works, what doesn't and bust myths about the Fringe.
The panel consisted of -
- Steve Bennett (@stevechortle) - Founder of Chortle.com (@chortle), the Chortle awards and head reviewer at Chortle.
- Bruce Dessau (@brucedes) - Founder of BeyondTheJoke.co.uk and head comedy reviewer at the London Evening Standard.
- Copstick - head comedy reviewer at the Scotsman and on the judging panel for the Malcolm Hardee Awards.
- John Fleming (@thejohnfleming) - Founder of the Malcolm Hardee Awards.
- Hils Jago (@hilsjago) - Founder of the Amused Moose Comedy Club (@amusedmoose) and the Laugh Off Awards.
- Barry Ferns (@barryferns) - Founder of Angel Comedy Club (@angelcomedy), the Barry Awards, Fringe veteran and comedian.
- And me (Simon Caine - Comedian, writer, podcaster @thismademecool)
Here's a few highlights of what we talked about during the pod...
- What are the reviewers links between the outside of Edinburgh circuit and Edinburgh?
- Is it hard / impossible to get reviews on the Free Fringe?
- Why were the reviewers “bored” at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe?
- Is variety dead at the Fringe? Have the agendas / middle men / PRs and marketing efforts of some ruined creativity in Edinburgh?
- Are PRs needed any more? Do they help get reviews?
AND MORE!
This podcast would be useful to anyone interested in doing a comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe, progressing on the comedy circuit, how competition help your career even if you don't win and comedy fans after a behind the scenes look at the Fringe.

The ParaPod (@ParaPod) is an entertainment podcast about the ghosts, the paranormal and everything in between. The hosts are at extreme ends of their beliefs:
Ray Peacock (@RayPeacock) doesn't believe in any ghosts. He's a comedian, a skeptic and "the voice of reason" in the show.
Barry Dodds (@Barry_Dodds) believes in ghosts, the supernatural and the afterlife. He's a comedian, a believer and the most earnest person you're ever likely to meet.
I got him on the podcast to talk about -
- How social media bullying can impact someone psychologically.
- How has their careers changed thanks to the cult following the pod?
- How to structure a podcast. How to make money from podcasting.
- How to build a relationship with your audience through podcasting.

What is this?This is an audiobook extract of my new book (sorry no interview here, but don't pass over it... I think you're going to like this).
Short StoryI want to publish my new book "How To Make A Living By Working For Free".
Slightly Longer StoryHi... my name is Simon. Welcome to my crowdfunding project.
For the past 6 years I've worked in social media. In short this means I write jokes and make images for the internet. The longer story is I build communities through excellent free content that attracts an audience for brands.
For the last 5 years I've been a gigging comedian slowly building a fan base online through free content. I've used the knowledge and skills I've built in my day job to make communities around the different channels I operate in online.
This book explains everything I've learned from obsessively reading, learning and trying to work out how relationships build online, how to build a community around what you do as an artist to find, nurture and grow your community on and offline.
What We Need & What You GetWhat I need from this crowdfunding it pretty simple... money to get the first print run of the book off the ground / get the digital book finalized and ready to go on sale on Amazon.
My target amount is the absolute minimum that I would need to get the book ready for the public. Anything above that would be sales / profit.
I've set up some awesome rewards for early backers, but if there's something you want which isn't available, please email me (simon.m.caine@gmail.com) and I'll try to make it available for you.
Here's a synopsis of the book - The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.
The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.
If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.
Where can I buy it?You can pre-order it on IndieGoGo here - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/how-to-make-a-living-by-working-for-free-book#/

Adam Larter (@lartymcparty) founded the Weirdos comedy club (@weirdoscomedy) in 2010. Not a traditional club, it's actually a revolving line up of comedians who act out shows, sketches and plays which he writers as well as a comedy night and a yearly panto.
I got him on the podcast to talk about -
- What does “alternative comedy” mean to him? Has the term “alternative comedy” changed its meaning since the 1980s? Does alternative just mean something which isn’t mainstream and can an alternative comedian ever make it as a mainstream act? Why he does not do previews of his shows. Why he loves flyering at the Edinburgh Fringe (and why he’d gladly help you flyer your show!) How he has managed to make a profit in Edinburgh every year. What it is like being involved in the alternative circuit and how supportive it is. Is it harder to get constructive feedback from an audience who like what you do?
AND MORE!
This podcast would be useful to anyone who is interested in building their own following for their work or is an aspiring writer who wants to write and produce shows either professionally or just for fun.

Jessie joined Janklow & Nesbit in 2010, shortly after graduating from Leeds University with a degree in English Literature. As well as building up her list of fiction and non-fiction authors, she runs the company’s social media presence and sells foreign rights across a number of different territories. On the fiction side she’s looking for stand-out voices and original storytelling; novels that ask difficult questions, and explore the answers to those questions in a unique and imaginative way.
I got her on the podcast to talk about -
- What is a literary agent?
- Where do you even start looking for the right agent?
- When should you approach an agent, what should you send and what are the common errors writers make?
- What happens from finding a book idea to getting it on the shelf with an agent.
- What books sell best in what country
- The value of social media for an author when pitching a book. Is the trend of internet celebrities getting book deals a fad? Or the way forward for the publishing industry?
- Are celebrity books pushing out books by new writers because they’re more bankable and more likely to sell?
AND MORE!
This podcast would be useful to anyone who wants to get a book published or self-publish a book themselves and wants an agent to help that happen.

I spoke to him about how he found a way of starting a career in comedy later than most and how he managed to start making money from it so quickly. James also founded and runs the South Coast Comedian of the Year award.

- How having a family pushed him to make his career change later in life work as quickly as possible.
- How his path of chasing club sets / bookings has made his career vs how my path of chasing an audience for my shows.
- How he used his background in marketing and sales to get his name and act under peoples nose.
- How he can gig 3-4 nights a week and not be broke.
- Not rushing into gigs you shouldn’t be doing not because you don’t have the jokes, but because you aren’t ready.
- The pros and cons of starting in comedy later in life.

In this episode I interviewed comedian, promoter (and most importantly for this podcast) Edinburgh Fringe Program designer Sean Brightman. Sean has made thousands of flyers and been producing the PBH & Freestival Fringe Programs for a number of years. He kindly shared his "do's" "don'ts" and wisdom with us. We talked about -
- How to make the most of your tiny listing.
- Are the Fringe program adverts worth it?

- Is it worth having a photographer and designer as two separate people?
And lots more! If you're a comedian who is thinking about going to Edinburgh (or any Fringe festival) there should be something for you in this short episode. I am sorry the audio quality isn't as good as it normally is, but we couldn't get in the same room and given how close we are to the deadlines (when I uploaded this) I just wanted to get it made and out there.

In this episode I interviewed comedian, improvisor and MC Luisa Omielan. Her debut solo hour was called What Would Beyonce Do? She took it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2012 with no buzz, no press coverage, no industry help and no PR... The show became the sleeper hit of the Fringe and has launched her career as a stand up. She currently sits below the line of "famous" but has sold out 7 runs at the Soho Theatre. We talked about - - How to generate your own word of mouth and the value of that in Edinburgh. - The role social media played and continues to play in her audience building. - Her advice to people taking their first show to the Fringe. - Fame vs having your own audience. - The behind-the-scenes story of how she went from having no industry interest, to having an agent, a PR team and a sell out run in London. We covered the pros and cons of having industry help vs doing it yourself and more! If you're a comedian who wants to know what goes on behind the curtain of really good stand up shows to make them get the recognition they deserve or you're an audience member interested in the hard work that you don't normally get to see from a comedian going from "unknown" to "having their own audience" this podcast is for you.

In this episode I interviewed comedian, podcaster and Edinburgh Fringe designer Iszi Lawrence.
After talking about poster, flyer and marketing materials myself and Iszi kept talking about the deeper concepts around branding as a performer and things you can do above and beyond performing live to build audiences. It's a shorter episode as it was unplanned, but I still felt this was worth sharing.
We covered -
- Advice on approaching agents.
- Iszi’s advice on succeeding and staying happy with your work.
- How to think about what you look like on stage.
And more!

In this episode I interviewed comedian, podcaster and Edinburgh Fringe designer Iszi Lawrence.
This is the first in a "Fringe poster / marketing materials" series I am working on. As performers we all struggle to get good posters / flyers, this is my attempt to ease that pain and help make it easier to understand what makes a good poster for me ( and you). If you're not a comedian this podcast will give you an insight into the work and effort that goes into the production of a Fringe show and club set behind the scenes both before and after the performance.

In this "inbetweeneisode" I interview Rachel Holdsworth (comedy editor) & Stuart Black (review and in charge of the theatre listings) from the Londonist.
If you're doing a show in London you might want to contact the Londonist. They have a large base of die-hard London fans who want to know about interesting and "left field" events happening in their hometown. So if you have an interesting show which you're bringing to the capital listen to this before contacting them. It could mean the difference between getting featured and your email getting ignored... As always, shownotes can be found here and you can find me on Twitter @thismademecool. See you next time, Si

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it herefor £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book -
The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.
The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.
If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.
If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
