I still can’t quite believe this happened. They say don’t meet your heroes but if all my heroes are anything like Peter then I have nothing to fear. He was incredibly warm, welcoming, witty, and immensely generous with his time. Give it a listen!

I had such a lovely time chatting to Daisy, having never met or spoken to her before. She's so funny and her enthusiasm is really infectious, she certainly gave my interviewer ego a boost. Positive vibes all round 😊.

And now for something completely deux-fferent...

Part 2 is out! Our chat with Mark Evans continues. From challenging jobs to Charles Dickens, and, of course, stories of where writers are treated appallingly. ENJOY!

[Alex Lynch - Ramon Fear's Terror Tapes, OUT NOW! @AlexJRLynch]

I've had the wonderful fortune of knowing Mark for quite some time now and I was thrilled to have him on for a proper in-depth discussion in person about his work and comedy influences. I also learnt about a whole other side to him that I would never have expected. More tomorrow!

[Out Of Character @OOCharacterPod]

Attention! It's a two-parter! Episode 75 Part 1 is out now with special guest, MARK EVANS ('Bleak Expectations')!

Loved chatting to Kathy, it was the first time we'd met but she was so easy to talk to and such a laugh. Kathy is also the first drag king I've had on the podcast and it was so interesting hearing about that side of performance of which I knew very little. Check it out!

[Out Of Character @OOCharacterPod]

Out of the way! Episode 74 coming through with special guest, KATHY MANIURA (Man Up Drag Comp Finalist 2023)!

Alex spoke to Kathy about being a Cycle Man, being inanimate objects, and being the conduit between stand-ups and clowns. Listen now - or on your next bike ride.

Jess is hilarious, we met at her comedy night Laugh Lines last year and then I saw 'For Your Consideration' which was brilliant. It was great to properly chat, and extra thanks to Jess for booking us the cinema to record this episode. Listen now!

[Out Of Character @OOCharacterPod]

Lights, camera, action! It's Episode 73 with special guest, JESS CARRIVICK (BBC Comedy Awards Finalist 2025)!

Alex spoke to Jess about doing an Edinburgh run, the BBC Comedy Awards finals, and having her wedding all in one summer. Enjoy and R.I.P CITV.

David is a fantastic improviser and his show 'David Elms Describes A Room' is ingenious yet brilliantly simple. I cannot recommend it enough! Listen to our chat, then go find out where he's playing, then book a ticket. And then go to it!

[Out Of Character @OOCharacterPod]

Imagine if you can, Episode 72... Well you don't have to because it is right here with special guest, DAVID ELMS ('Borderline', Mr Swallow)!

Alex spoke to David about made-up rooms, Mr Swallow and many forms of improv. Listen now - in any room you like!

Katy has had the most varied career of almost anyone I've met. Her projects are always interesting and - as you'll hear - wildly different. It was splendid chatting to her about it all.

[Out Of Character @OOCharacterPod]

Episode 71 has materialised with special guest, KATY SCHUTTE (The Maydays, Project2)!

Alex spoke to Katy about ghosts, romcoms, and improvising in VR. Listen and discover what it takes to become a folklorist!

BRAND NEW EPISODE! I've been a fan of Jake's work for years so it was such a treat to meet and chat to him in person. We had never met and we laughed a lot together. Hope you enjoy it!
