S04E07 In a room with both Lee Mack and Bradley Whitford

THE 1% CLUB S03 E04 and MIDDLEDITCH AND SCHWARTZ S01 E01: Reviewed!

Welcome welcome, come one, come all! What have you done this week? We hope you’ve had a good one. We have been very busy. Podcasting, of course, for one. We haven’t had a week off for coming up to nearly one hundred episodes. One hundred episodes of pure, unfiltered content. We know you appreciate it because it is all for you. Every whirlwind minute of it. Thank you for all the love on social media. In the coming weeks, we will try to sift through all the compliments and praise. And that’s just from one co-host to the other! Now let's start the show.

Watch episode 1 of Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz prancing around and improvising. They call it “Middleditch and Schwartz” which is just classic. Instead of being creative with the names, just use the surnames. We see you, Tommy and Benny boy! The episode is entitled “Parking Lot Wedding” because that is exactly the scenario that the boys spontaneously bring to life: https://www.netflix.com/watch/81140289

This is an article on how these two funny men might be the saviours of improv comedy. Oh, that is a shame. I thought it could be us. Anousis and Bahlo. Or Bahlo and Anousis. Or probably not, we’re just a podcast without a Patreon mate, dream on. Anyway, Jesse David Fox is good at writing about culture so give him a read: https://www.vulture.com/2020/04/middleditch-schwartz-netflix-comedy-specials.html

This is an article about improv being back in New York. Which is interesting because improv in New York is low-key the genesis of our pod. Our endeavours. Our project. Our collaborations. Our relationship. The pod. But anyway, yeah, back to the point. Improv New York in 2024:

This is Season 3 Episode 4 of The 1% Club, aired on the tenth of August. It is on the ITV X app. I think that is what it’s called. So yeah … good luck with that hahaha: https://www.itv.com/watch/the-1percent-club/10a0593/10a0593a0025

Lee Mack talks to Richard Herring on his podcast (which is called Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre podcast) about the 1% Club and getting older. Those are definitely two things you want to hear from Lee Mack about, so fair play to whoever had the idea to clip this bit out. Clipping out bits is an art form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBRVsmGOsso

Lee Mack confirms he won’t be doing Not Doing Out in 2024. So that is big news. Colin Greenwood recently announced Radiohead rehearsed together again, so maybe that will put a smile back on the face of anyone who is sad to read this article: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/celebs-tv/itv-1-club-star-lee-9223666

We bloody well hope this wasn’t a bang average episode of our show. But hey. If it was, you know what? That is still pretty good. 

(In terms of the audio levels)

(For one of us)

(Oh hey did anyone notice we briefly uploaded this episode a bit earlier in the week accidentally? Hahaha rock and roll podcasting, what are you gonna do!?)
