Dan Wright interview

Paul Sinha interview

Monday 30th April 2012

GP turned comic Paul Sinha is now the Dr Doom of general knowledge, as the newest know-it-all villain on ITV quiz show The Chase. It's having an intriguing impact on his live work, too.

We're on the verge of World War 3, human rights are often evil and - most shockingly - the Daily Mail possibly isn't. These are the ravings of Steve Hughes - strap in for the sweariest Circuit Training interview yet!

Set List's Paul Provenza interviewed

Saturday 19th November 2011

Widely blamed for fatally wounding US drama Northern Exposure, Paul Provenza went and showed 'em by making a surprise hit of dirty-mouthed doc The Aristocrats. Now he's bringing Set List to Soho, and scaring the bejeezus out of Britain's best comics.

Sean Hughes Live

Tuesday 8th November 2011

Dave Gorman Live

Dave Gorman interview

Monday 10th October 2011

Hugely popular across myriad comedic outlets, Dave Gorman also gets some stick for his part in the rise of lecture-style stand-up. Not that he ever did lecture-style stand-up, apparently...

Tom Stade Live

Tom Stade interview

Thursday 29th September 2011

Once tipped for big-time US TV success, Tom Stade ended up co-writing the infamous Tramadol Nights after numerous neglected years on the UK circuit. So is he, like Frankie Boyle, still being horrid about Jordan's offspring?
