Summary
“Caffeinated puppy” Matt Richardson joins us to reflect on the parallel tracks of his comedy and “TV personality” careers, and the indefatigable enthusiasm that underpins both. We explore his youthful stand-up bad habits, the trap of “comedy reportage” and also expose the dynamic between his OCD and his fear of doing badly onstage - and how that might have hampered his creativity. But just how good is he with mums?
25 mins of extra content available exclusively to the Insiders Club include Matt on how his relationship with Virgin Radio came to a rocky end; the “Joel Dommett” factor and what it means for comics; and how to play the game of reality TV and win!
Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much more, including the exclusive Insiders Q&As with Nish Kumar, James Acaster and Fern Brady and the incredible “self-help for comedians” special with Amanda Donnet.
