Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!
This week Pip is joined by actor and now director SIMON BIRD, whom you may already be familiar with from such roles as Will from The Inbetweeners and Adam from Friday Night Dinner!
Simon and Pip chat over the good old fashioned zoom app (you get that nice warmth and crackle over zoom), to catch up on all things acting and directing, as well as fatherhood and family life and how everything feeds into each other. A nice coverage of menu items from the difference in perspectives of last year and this year so far, directing Days Of The Bagnold Summer and how it was an unoffical Pip biopic without the Pip (let’s call it a ‘bioPip’), appreciation for Monica Dolan, the Footlights crew at Cambridge, working with his wife, and of course all things Inbetweeners and Friday Night Dinner.
