This is a podcast from comedians comedian.com. This is the Comedians comedian podgos.

Hello and welcome to the show I'm Stuart Goldsmith and this is the brilliant

the absolutely wonderful Angela Barnes who as we allude to in this conversation

Angela was an early guest on this show and I decided not to release the episode because basically her kind of zero to hero story was so she had such an incredible start to her career that I

didn't I worried that no one would learn from it and so we've sort of made a

mutual decision at the time I mean basically it was like I started writing jokes

I turned out to be brilliant at it new loads about comedy

smashed all the competitions started getting work straight away and I thought that's

going to be a bit probably a bit painful for for lots of people starting out who may

be listening.

And also I thought it would be better to talk to her when she was in a position to look back on a body of work and reflect upon it.

I'm very pleased I waited.

This is a really excellent conversation.

It's got all your classic comedians, comedian,

podcast stuff in it.

She's very, very hard.

She's very hard worker.
