Summary

At last! Brett Goldstein (movie star, comedian, writer, super-fan of ComCom and perpetual invite-swerver) drops by for a “NonComPod” that won’t expose at all how crackers he is. Sadly Stu can’t help himself and it all goes a bit “Are You Happy?” A brilliant conversation with a kind, funny, deeply handsome man, who lets us into his mind to discuss humility, boredom and workaholism - and why the comedy community is like an AIDS quilt...

25 mins of extra content available exclusively to members of the Insiders Club include the backstage view of Brett’s “Films To be Buried With” podcast, how a run of terrible gigs way back during the Comedy Reserve fringe line-up show became a brutal bootcamp, and a decent chunk of Stu giving Brett unsolicited advice on how to navigate his mental health…

Join the Insiders Club now at www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for all this and much much more.

*New episodes are now streamed live at www.twitch.tv/stugoldsmith on 1pm BST every Wednesday, for release the following week*

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.
0:21.0	I'm Darren Brown. I've made a career out of learning the inner workings of a brilliantly messed up brains.
0:28.0	So together with the help of powerful human stories, expert advice, and the odd experiment will help you wrestle

0:45.8	Subscription required, see audible.co. UK for terms. You're not. Hello and welcome to the show I'm Stuart Goldsmith this is the podcast feed of my show the
1:14.1	comedians comedian podcast but this episode sort of is and sort of isn't one of
1:18.5	them you might be aware in the last few weeks since the Pani D hit with
1:22.3	apologies to people who hate me using that term and whoever
1:24.7	my wife pinched it from before I've pinched it from her and have since popularized it on this show.

1:54.6	coming on the show for reasons that may become clear or maybe will be lost to
1:59.5	the edit. Basically what's happened is Goldstein, one of my favorite comedians, one of my
2:05.3	favorite people and a genuine, what's the phrase, a com completest, someone who has listened
2:12.1	to every episode of this show and all the post-ambles horrifyingly.
