Well, I thought so, and then I took my show Spoilers to the Edinburgh Festival and everyone bloody loved it,

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. Hello and welcome to the show I'm Stuart Goldsmith and it gives me enormous

pleasure to bring to you today the interdimensional ABK which is to say the stand-up comedian and kind of creative genius that is

Alistair Beckett King. I am a huge fan of Alistair's work. I saw him in Edinburgh back when it existed and also I tell

you what if you were listening to the first few minutes of this and are undecided

and thinking oh am I going to dig this guy I highly recommend you follow the link on the show notes which I have called

that incredible trailer and you will see a two minute trailer in the style of

kind of Ulysses and Thundercats and shows like that from the 80s in which he created entirely himself using the animating techniques of those shows.

It's one of the best individual things I think I've ever seen a comic produce and if you fancy getting into the mind of someone who

If neither of those things are true, then please continue to listen.

This is an excellent interview with an excellent performer and there

are 20 minutes of extra content available for you including Alistair talking about

scripting video games and he gives a brilliant example of using jokes as a means of hiding internal mechanics in the games.

And we also talk about why people think he dies a lot more often than he does.

He's a very robust comic, but he looks like an arty wimp so we're

talk about that in the insiders club go to comedians comedian.com slash insiders

for that and much much more all of the extra stuff from every episode that has it and thank you to you if you have

recently signed up to the insiders club a couple of people have jumped in in the last week and it's great to have you on board

all that being said pin back your ears, drag some sort of ancient

narwhal tusk comb through your barnet and enjoy this interview with Alisto Beckett King.
