Points of view: theatre, comedy and news
The UK's one and only rap comic, Amelia Hamilton, joins Pepper&Salt to talk about her new show, Moral Support, the key to writing a second as well as satirical fringe hour and exploring the Wild West of morality.
Pepper&Salt is joined by Kwami Odoom and Jack Henry to talk all things double bills; their Edinburgh Fringe show, ‘Support Group’, their comedic partnership and whether Agony Aunts are truly as helpful as they seem.
Making her Edinburgh Fringe debut with her show Squeaky Bum Time, triple threat and Ted Lasso star Sapphire McIntosh chats to Pepper&Salt about her new hour, writing process, hope and realism as well as what artists might make the cut for her pre-show playlist.
Comedy streaming service Dropout today announced season two of the standup comedy competition series, Crowd Control. Hosted by Jacquis Neal and narrated by Chioke I'Anson, each episode features three comedians competing in a battle of crowd work, where every set is improvised and no prewritten material is allowed. Comedians must build their sets using prompts they receive and interactions with the audience, who then vote to determine the winner. The new season will premiere August 3, with episodes dropping every other Monday.
The Gaulier-trained Zoe Wohlfeld sits down to answer Pepper&Salt's questions about her upcoming Edinburgh Fringe debut, Dog Funeral, Wohlefeld's approach to writing and clown as well as the rule for Pinot Grigio.
Paul Hilleard joins Pepper&Salt to discuss his upcoming Edinburgh Fringe debut, Grogg, providing an insight into the figurines themselves, and the difficulties of writing a debut hour.
On the brink of his Edinburgh Fringe debut, Hamish Lloyd Barnes chats with Pepper&Salt about his show, Stage Presence, the history of William Terris and theatre ghosts.
Comedy streaming service Dropout today released the trailer for the new season of fan favorite actual play series, Dimension 20. Titled City Council of Darkness, the new installment stars Dimension 20’s main cast of players, fondly known as the Intrepid Heroes, and will premiere April 8 on the platform.
From the very start, Celine Kuklowsky’s Bed Boy clearly demonstrates its potential. The show has a solid base, but it perhaps suffers with issues that admittedly will resolve themselves with fluency and energy. One overarching theme of the hour is the fact that throughout their comedy, we can see the direction which Kuklowsky wants to go, how far they appear to be itching to take a joke, and how much they rein themselves in just as they are getting started.Â
