Location: The Bill Murray and Prebend St Park
London
Guest: Dec Munro
Please welcome Mr Comedy - Dec Munro - to the podcast.
Some of you might know I scratched my itch to do stand up comedy last year and it would not have been possible without the kindness and enthusiasm of this guy. He really did give me the confidence to get on stage that I'd been craving for years and is, like my mum(!), a brilliant teacher.
Dec has taught and advised so many people how to do comedy better and not just idiotic wannabes like me but actual famous comics too - directing shows by Stuart Goldsmith and Lara Ricote to name just a couple. We spoke about his teaching and his directing and what makes good live comedy.
And Dec also gave us a look behind the curtains at the Bill Murray pub - the ground zero of the London comedy scene which has witnessed performances from anyone who's anyone... and me. He told us about how he and his friends at Angel Comedy together opened this amazing venue.
Dec was very sweet in this podcast - asking me questions and even saying that he's had requests to do something like this before but felt like Park Date was the right podcast to spill the tea on. So thanks for talking Dec and see you soon.
Find out more about Dec here and if you're a comedian in need of a director or a person who wants to learnt he dark arts of stand up, I urge you to get in touch. He didn't pay me to say that - but Dec I'll forward my bank details if you want to.
As always GRAZIE to Lucia Scazzocchio, Luke Jones (do listen to his brilliant podcast https://southgirlproductionmusic.com/category/podcast-production/), Rosie Wilby (https://www.instagram.com/breakupmonologues/?hl=en) and Mae-Li Evans for encouragement, production support and advice. There would be no podcast without these people. THANKS GUYS.
Park Date is about mixing the silly with the serious so do listen out for the original comedy we're slotting in between and after the interviews (which are hopefully pretty funny themselves).
Do review, subscribe and like. Namecheck as many trees as possible in your reviews and make them as surreal as possible - I have a very nice prize to give out to the writer of the funniest review.
