Scarred For Life

Our guest this week is actor and comedian, Simon Day.We talk ghost stories, his ‘chequered’ past and the connection between trauma and comedy.
Simon is probably best known as a performer on the legendary sketch comedy series, The Fast Show. Which he’s been a part of since it’s inception in 1994.Aside from The Fast Show, Simon has become a staple of British TV over the past 3 decades, appearing in comedies such as Big Night Out, King Gary, Brian Pern and many others.And, he can be a little more serious when he wants to be, with acting credits on Holby City, Death in Paradise, Skins and loads more.

Our guest this week is the returning fan favourite, the comedian,
director, writer and actor - Rhys Thomas.

His last appearance on the podcast was one of the highlights of last year and yet we’d barely scraped the surface. So we had to have him back!

We talk rabies, piranhas, ghosts and more in this sprawling medley of scars.  

For over 30 years, Rhys has been making, and starring in, some of
the UK’s most inventive comedy, picking up BAFTA, Emmy and Royal Television Awards along the way.

He’s appeared in shows such as The Fast Show, Sirens and Star Stories and he’s also the creator of Dodger, The Kemps and the character Brian Pern, along with countless others.

It's the second of our new Thursday episodes and this week we're doing our first watch club. Andy recently mentioned his distain for black and white films, so we thought we'd put it to the test.

So this week we're watching ...

Dracula (1931)

The Thing From Another World (1951)

and Dr Strangelove (1964)

We'd love your recommendations for the next watch club, so if you have a perfect 3 film combo for us - or you just want to tell us how wrong our opinions are - let us know on socials or email us at [email protected]
