Grouchy Club Podcast - Kate Copstick & John Fleming

Comedy gossip with critic Kate Copstick and blogger John Fleming in a very noisy Southside Social pub in Edinburgh. Why Copstick no longer wants to hear about Fringe comedy acts from PRs next year. Comic Candy Gigi’s horrendous experience with an awards judge. Why the comedy section of the Fringe Programme has become “toxic”. How Paul Currie’s comedy show moved from “slightly scary” to “much more fun” but Copstick now wants to “smack him in the face”. Why Copstick hates the word “lover”. Why she was second choice to co-host The Grouchy Club and its original conception as a ‘real people’ TV chat show.Copstick’s quote of the week on Fringe comedy PR: “It’s ugly and it’s wanky and it’s just horrible… I haven’t been to see one single great show this year because a PR suggested it or even because a PR alerted me to it”http://www.grouchyclub.co.ukYou can also download this audio podcast from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/grouchy-clubs-mostly-about/id977279883John Fleming posts occasional blogs at: http
