Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by all star comedian, host, writer and more JIMMY CARR!
You for sure know Jimmy, for Jimmy is ubiquitous and with good reason - he’s a very funny comedian and always comes through on a panel show. He has a new book out too called Before & Laughter, which is very much a ‘get to know’ kind of book so well worth peeping. He and Pip cover a ton of ground on here too, from the difference pace of feedback loops in comedy and book writing, the trojan horse of standup in panel shows, joke analytics, the legacy of the incredible Sean Lock (RIP), life choices, comedy workouts, comparison as the thief of joy, his well publicised money issues, being a father and all kinds of life in between. Honest, interesting and very funny - enjoy.
