Summary

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 212 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A grand episode right here as Pip is joined by comedian and actor from the UK via Greece, Jamie Demetriou!

You’re going to be seeing a LOT more of Jamie over the next month or two as he’s about to unveil his new series ‘Stath Lets Flats’, which is part of Channel 4’s ‘Comedy Blaps’ vehicle - in the meantime, enjoy this proper get together with Pip and Jamie, as the two cover a ton of ground in the cosy but apparently humid Acast studios to discuss the use of the not often utilised Greek accent in comedy, working on a small scale as a jumping board for larger scale work, the fact that he’s “Always done idiots”, working with and promoting his comedian sister, the heightened but committed character, reactions to comedy within the actual scenes, improv and the importance of casting, the insanity and craziness of the Edinburgh Fringe, the idea of ‘anti-comedy’, and it’s important to point out that while this episode features reference to David Earl throughout, the podcast is not sponsored nor overseen by him. But check him out whenever you can, of course. He’s awesome. So’s Jamie. Enjoy!

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast. My name is Scrubius Pip and this is episode
0:06.8	2012. I think if I remember rightly, what I do remember is that the guest is Jamie Demetri and it was
0:14.4	a lovely chat. Yeah, he's great. He's in a new show called Staff Let's Flats. We talked about a lot
0:20.3	and the witch who are also sponsoring the podcast so that's good. Comes out on June 27th on channel 4
0:27.2	or Wednesdays at 10pm I believe. It's great. I've seen the first, I won't talk about it because we
0:33.7	talk about it a lot in the podcast. I will talk about the huge reaction to last week's podcast and
0:41.4	that really meant the world. Thank you. Obviously when it's not a big celebrity name, they can be the
0:49.2	ones that don't naturally get as much attention but you guys are awesome and you shout out about it a
0:55.6	lot. It was with Natalie Clapture of a charity called Headway who helped people have had a
1:03.4	traumatic brain injury and it was amazing. It was informative. I mean, saying that if you're here
1:11.6	tuning in for a wonderful comedian, you probably think I don't want to hear that. It's genuinely
1:16.5	enjoyable and insightful. I tried to only pick guests and episodes that are going to be engaging,
1:23.0	informative, amusing in places and yeah, it seemed to tick all those boxes so thank you for
1:29.2	tuning into that. We are brought to you as ever by speechdevelopmentrequids.com. speechdevelopmentrequids.com
1:35.6	is my record label and it's where I've got on my merch. You can buy the Struction pieces merch.
1:41.2	You can buy a lot of summer merch. You can buy sunglasses, vests, shorts, leggings, swimsuits.
1:49.6	I mean, it sounds like I'm joking. I genuinely have made all of those things. Most of them are designed
1:54.4	by Mr Higgie who is one of my favourite artists so yeah, head over to speechdevelopmentrequids.com. You
1:59.3	can get mugs as well, all sorts of nice stuff. So enjoy that. Anything else I need to tell you,
2:05.5	I've been recording a lot of podcasts of late. So next week, at last I'm going to have Kate Nashon.
2:10.8	I've talked about doing that one for a long time because I know Kate from way back and we really,
2:17.3	honestly we could have talked for hours and hours and hours. It's a really good one, really
