Summary
Star of his own sitcom "Jerk" (BBC) and a gleefully discomforting stand-up, Tim Renkow makes his point with devastating wit. We talk about how people's exploitation of Tim's physical vulnerability has shaped his outlook and work, learn how his dispassion towards his audience's reaction makes him a stronger comic, and find out why he would rather be alone in a wood with a shotgun.
Content warning: strong language and discussion of sexual abuse.
Members of the Insiders Club can enjoy 20 mins of extra content with Tim giving us his analysis of the four types of Edinburgh fringe shows, precisely why he doesn't like award-winning shows, and what great idea he only tried saying on stage once...
All of that, plus all the extras from every show which has them, exclusively available to members of the Insiders Club. Join today at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders

| 0:00.0 | Are there any words more guaranteed to strike terror into people's hearts than climate comedy? |
| 0:04.6 | Well, I thought so, and then I took my show Spoilers to the Edinburgh Festival and everyone bloody loved it, |
| 0:09.7 | including Brian Eno, if you can believe that. You can see it at the Soho Theatre from the 29th of November for four nights get your tickets at Stuart Goldsmith.com. |

| 1:02.8 | Tim is someone I've been excited to get on the podcast for some time |
| 1:06.7 | he has been brilliant I mean we the starting point for this interview is the fact that he's |
| 1:11.4 | murdered every gig I've seen him do. I mean murdered. |
| 1:14.4 | He's a phenomenally accomplished comic and we are going to talk about some of his provocative |
| 1:20.4 | humour. It probably is useful for you to know that Tim is himself Jewish |
| 1:24.2 | before we get to a reported version of one of his punchlines which we're going to look at in |
| 1:29.1 | some detail not too long into this episode. |
| 1:33.0 | You'll see why that detail becomes important later on. |
| 1:37.0 | And I think there is not just a content warning on this show |
| 1:40.0 | for some dark and challenging material, but also in a very serious way because |
| 1:46.2 | we are quite early in this episode going to talk about some of Tim's experiences being |
| 1:52.1 | exploited, being sexually abused as a disabled person and as a younger person. |
| 1:57.0 | So this is a more serious than usual content warning for the show. |
