Yeah listening to podcasts you do get the impression the whole London comedy scene is very small! Especially with that 'generation' of comedians who came up together.

Aren't they all with Avalon or something? It always seems to be the exact same set of comedians who do every comedy programme on Dave, etc etc.
Then they get to write their own (rubbish*) sitcom, then they release a (crap**) book... it all gets a bit tedious sometimes. I'm glad that John never quite seems to be as 'successful' as them, because then he'd be indistinguishable from them all.***

Does anyone yone else REALLY not GAF where Chesterfield is at this point?

EDIT to say, all Chesterfield chat is forgiven as John has just read out my email so I'm happy again.

To be honest, I felt rather sad reading his Vibemail, because he sounds ill :/ but if that's just me who thinks that, so be it! (and I hope he isn't)

Also, what is with the person kicking off on the PCD group because someone RUINED their life by revealing that JR is on TM next season?! I mean, perspective, people! It's not even a TM group. It reminded me of a PCD group post I read a while back where someone said "I haven't listened to the podcast yet, no spoilers please", and I just realise how much I don't understand some people

Slowing catching up…. Elis’ outburst calling Eurovision a stain on global culture was a surprise I laughed a lot there

 

[CocoCottesmore]

I thought it was bang average. It was FAR too long.

 

[CocoCottesmore]

I don't know what the stands for

Sorry! I just presumed everyone had found their way here via the Jack Monroe thread! It means I could be triangulated through forensic detective skills. What I should have just said is yes, I will be going. I've also got tickets for John's show later in the year.

I'm.just catching up on Rebecca Lucy Taylors interview on the Taskmaster podcast and she says she's snogged quite a lot of comedians . I wonder if one of those is our Johnny JR?

I always thought that one of the best (small) things to remember is something our very own Johnny JR has said a few times:

Your anxiety is lying to you.

It's not a 'cure-all' or anything, but it can help you get out of tricky moments sometimes.

I also get the newsletter from this website: https://www.ellenhendriksen.com/ which comes up with some very useful general tips about dealing with difficult situations and emotions.

Love and peace and nice things to all you PCDs

It’s so great to hear that this is a safe space for those who find the group a bit of a challenge

 

[adviseplz]

Oh yes you’re right! I guess at least this way they find out whether they ‘work’ or not straight away, nothing wrong with that.

No for sure.. It’s probably a when-you-know-you-know situation.

Vin is here!

Going to be a thicko deluxe - what’s sidebar?

A top secret Facebook group for elite PCD’s apparently….invite only.

Sorry about spoilers I feel responsible
I don’t no how to post a spoiler can someone tell me please

Interesting he said that it was the closest he would get to Taskmaster playing the made-up game this week!

It's got to be a Richard/Red Herring

 

[just lurking 99]

I thought that too.

I also felt it didn't seem very conversational. It was like they were talking their opinions at each other, and neither really acknowledged what the previous said?

Or maybe I read it wrong.

I very much got these vibes too. Overall, a bad article, IMO.

Has anyone listened to this week's podcast? I read the blurb about it, saw it was LS in for JR and immediately listened to something else

But I could have missed something good?

The opening exchange discussing a new addition to the James/Suttie household (animal not human) was quite funny between Elis, Lou and Dave; however the rest was kind of standard Lou fare. I’ll be honest, she doesn’t irritate me to the point I can’t listen but after genuine laugh out loud moments last week with Eevo/Eyevo, I did groan a bit at her being announced.

Oh bloody hell I spent ages scrolling through, finally came across the lost long friend and the clue finally clicked.... it's the guy I've seen constantly posting on there and have also thought he shares a lot! I think he's just enthusiastic.....


@welshgirl2021 excellent clue btw

 

[adviseplz]

I just finished listening to last weeks ep (a bit late, I know) but I really enjoyed Ivo there... so I would like to take back my previous comments about him!

 

[SwishSwing]

Ha! Doesn't John broadcast that himself every week on 5Live?

He does but maybe PEOPLE are seeing it now

 

[Madeofeyes]

Johns mum panicking was the more adorable thing ever. Top notch acting!!

 

[Phil I Buster]

No, I think if they were changing it presenter wise, then they would have come out and said so because a new format is the perfect chance to do that. Also Dave had mentioned a photo shoot for the new show with the pair of them which suggests it’s business as usual, just in a different way.

no, I’ve occasionally lurked there but it’s too fast and I don’t keep up with her enough. Find her fecking annoying though.

Fabulous, we can compare notes on Monday
