In this Number Two Special of Following Through, comedians Alex Love and Siobhan Dodd explain how and why they got into stand-up comedy and what keeps them going after a bad gig.
They talk about their first-ever gigs – why was Siobhan dressed as a bear? And what was the new act scene like in 2005 pre-Facebook? – along with their favourite comedy gigs and the best toilets on the circuit. Find out what it is like doing a show at Edinburgh Fringe when your bowels are chronically imploding.
Going back earlier, Alex recounts the surprise manifestation of Bruce Forsyth on stage at school that set him on the long path to stand-up.
They also finally set each other a challenge – Alex is not best pleased with his. And Siobhan makes another attempt to get into Alex’s flat. Although her house party poo story may have scuppered her chances.
Music is by Rich Shillitoe.
