Building an Hour

Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, Colman, Chris and Mauricio unpack the highs, lows and general chaos of taking comedy to the festival. They compare the shows that worked, the rooms that fought back, the uniquely sneaky Scottish hecklers and the strange experience of trying to get noticed by agents.
They also look at which jokes and ideas are worth carrying forward into their developing hours—including Reddit-inspired premises, dead people, dating and the uncomfortable discovery that the material you trust the least can sometimes get the biggest reaction.
A post-Fringe debrief about bombing, killing, being noticed and working out what comes next.

Tell us what we should try and what should absolutely never leave this podcast.
