Out Of Character

I first met Georgia when I was a runner on her BBC Four sitcom 'Quick Cuts' back in 2013. Amazingly, we've kept in touch all these years. I was so thrilled when she agreed to be a guest on this. Another ep I implore you to listen to if you have any interest in comedy writing. You'll learn a lot!

Georgia Pritchett | Out Of Character with Alex Lynch: Conversations with Sketch and Character Comedians Alex chats to writer Georgia Pritchett (HBO’s Succession and Veep, BBC’s The Thick of It) about being a writing chameleon, working on Smack the Pony, and making gravy with Armando Iannucci

I was hugely fortunate to work with @andybobrow.bsky.social, from across the pond, on the hysterical 'Tumbler's Willy Podcast'. He is such a lovely, funny guy and unbelievably supportive. We've still never met in person. If you have any interest in comedy writing, you NEED to listen to this one!

I was delighted to find John was already a fan of the show. He's a fascinating man to talk to and hilarious with it. I felt a bit silly for just assuming his act was a character, it's so not as black and white as that and this is another reason why I love making this podcast. Enjoy!

Here is that picture John mentions in the episode. When you listen, you'll understand why this photo is so funny. (2/2)

That's right! No weeks of build up, no teaser trailers, just a little nudge less than 24 hours before a brand new episode slides right into your lap. More of a French entrance than a French exit. Anyway, tune in (or whatever the podcast equivalent is) tomorrow! 🎧🥳

The new series lands in your podcast feed TOMORROW! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Series 5 (Part 1) starts tomorrow - 9th October - with new episodes releasing weekly every Thursday up to Christmas. Time to get back into Character!
