Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 271 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! It’s a full comedy get down this week as Pip is joined by comic, musician and writer NICK HELM!
Recorded in the cavernous confines of the Hoxton Bar & Grill, Pip and Nick immediately get down to the business of East London clubs and the process of getting kicked out of them, which leads to a good healthy chunk of convo on the subject of Avengers: Endgame which, like the film - seen it or not, you’re sure to enjoy… We rapidly get back on the comedy track where Nick brings us up to speed on subjects including but not limited to merch table blues and the selling of wares as a comedian, having a real life connection with audience even if it’s a disagreement, being open about depression and how it lets people know their not alone, death, getting through to people via comedy, the writing process, the Edinburgh Fringe and a whole wealth of comedy goodness. Nick also gives us a background on his opera musical which sounds bizarre and awesome. Tons to enjoy, get with it!
