Summary

Not one, but TWO funny women in this week’s Sunday Chops, the first of two Edinburgh Fringe specials – although if you can’t get to the festival, fret not, as both of these excellent comedians can be found elsewhere, too. Human fireball Helen Bauer tells Mick about giving advice on the Trusty Hogs podcast, dealing with diet culture in her show Madame Good Tit, and what it’s like to have Marsha from Spaced as your mum in her BBC Three pilot Small Doses. She also introduces her to Pen Island. After the break, Yuriko Kotani, a Japanese comedian based in the UK puts the wind up Mick with her talk of “kaiju” – that’s monsters or strange beasties to those of us who don’t speak Japanese. Actually, no wind at all; turns out Godzilla lives in Mick's house. You can give both of them a follow on the socials. Helen is @Helenbabauer and Yuriko is @YurikoComedy. Helen Bauer’s Madame Good Tit is at the Pleasance Courtyard, Aug 3 to 28, 5.40pm Yuriko Kotani’s Kaiju About is at the Pleasance Dome, Aug 3 to 28, 7.30pm Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.

0:14.2	Ernie, whoo! Waitrose have new, new, lower prices on hundreds of your favourites,

0:29.9	Hello, hello, and welcome to this week's Sunday Chops, the first of two Edinburgh comedy
0:51.1	specials. It's Mickey by the way. Kind of assume you know our accents now, but you
0:56.2	might be new here altogether, in which case welcome, welcome, I am the northern one.
1:02.3	Because standard issue is born of incredible comedy stock, we know the month of August
1:06.4	as the Edinburgh Festival, that's what it's called. And while we're not heading up
1:10.3	there ourselves this year, a whole host of funny women will be doing their thing in
1:14.5	various overhot venues in Scotland's capital. This week I'm chatting to human ball of
1:19.7	energy, Helen Bauer, who not only tells me about giving advice, dealing with diet
1:24.3	culture, and what it's like to have marsher from space as your mum, but also introduce
1:30.1	me to penisland.com. I love stationery, but this was not what I expected. I mean, I'm guessing
1:38.2	you're probably ahead of innocent little moire here. Clearly I had a lot to see if it exists
1:43.0	on the internet. No joy, but there is penisland.net and it does have wood and pens. I shit you
1:50.4	not. Penisland, by the way, if anyone was as naive as me, penisland. After the break
