Ask The Industry Podcast (Simon Caine)

A firm friend and supporter of the podcast, Mark Boosey, has launched an awesome new side of the British Comedy Guide for comedians / performers called "Pro". In it you can learn about the industry, find out about job opportunities and events, enjoy exclusive articles and podcasts and more! Another big feature I love is that you get control over your CV page (here's mine).

If you are going to sign up, please use this link ( https://www.comedy.co.uk/pro/?code=ATI ) and type in ATI in the checkout box so you can save £5 off a years membership (and I get a few quid for everyone who does this as well).

Everybody wins.

PS I was not paid do this, I wanted to do it to support Mark's work and the BCG in general... and the affiliate link sealed the deal.

Helen Stead is the director and founder of NCF Comedy which started back in 2009 at the Nottingham Comedy Festival. Since then NCF has grown and had 8 successful comedy festivals and runs shows in Nottingham, Birmingham, Leicester and throughout the midlands all year long.

We talked about how you process with NCF, the difference in audiences from place to place in the midlands and why she does no free comedy nights (even her new material one is £1 entry). This is a far cry from London where every open mic or new material night is free.

Mike Leigh is the founder of MLA Talent. They're not just a talent agency they also produce a lot of free digital media and podcasts creating their own podcast network to share audiences.

I got him on to talk about...

• How does he scout for new talent or online content to develop?
• Does it help having a following online to get on TV or radio?
• Why he thinks there’s so few great comedy producers now.
• Why he thinks acts with big profiles shouldn’t be doing the Free Fringe and who he books at his Fringe venue.
• How does he push forward clients he represents that TV and radio are not interested in?

Peter is a film writing, actor, producer, director and basically anything that is involved in movie and film making from the script to the post-production to the organising of screenings. We talked about how he got started making films as a child and how the change in technology has enabled him to continue creating his own projects but also work on mainstream TV and films.

I got him on to talk about...

• How he went from making stop-motion with his dads tape camcorder to making content for MTV.
• The most effective order to put together a film.
• How he used his DIY indie films as calling cards to work with his comedy writing hereos on blockbuster films.
• How he's built a career and a network without any social media.
• The hidden pressures of crowdfunding.

INCOMING...here comes a little bit of cross-promotion.

Hello, Ask The Industry listeners....

I'll keep this brief. 

I've been working on another podcast for 3 years. It's taken me 2 years to learn how to edit to a skill level that means I can do this show and another year to create the first episode, why?

The show is where the guest comes on, leaves 15-20 questions, then a year later comes back on and answers them. I then edit it so they're talking to their past self. 

It's called The Audio Time Capsule. It's my best work in an audio medium by a country mile and I'm stupidly proud of it. I'd really love it if you could support my work by giving it a listen or subscribing.

Doug Stanhope (@DougStanhope) is a comedian, writer and podcaster with nearly 30 years of performing under his belt. After cutting his teeth on the open mic circuit, Doug moved into MCing a “crappy” hotel gig which gave him the taste of being a “comedian with a point of view”. Since then he’s spent his time building his cult-like following and touring with his brash, honest, loud and often controversial style of comedy.

I got him on to talk about...

-Building his audience from scratch one email at a time (before social media

-Why he started his podcast

-What he hates about clubs and the club circuit in general.

-How and why he puts up boundaries that keep fans as fans and not friends

-Why he wouldn't laugh at his own jokes or act.

Ben Verth (@benverth) is the founder of Monkey Barrel comedy club. A purpose-built venue in the heart of Edinburgh, but above, he's a good friend of mine. In an interesting twist the normal format I invited him on to interview me. That's right, for one episode only we're going to have a little look back over the first 100 episodes in what I am going to call Comedy 101. 

I got him to talk to me about (he wrote the questions, so this is just some highlights)...

-What I’ve learned in the last 100 interviews.

-What I’ve got out of the podcast (both good and bad).

-The positive and negative points of making a podcast and building a community.

-How has the podcast changed from my perspective and has impacted anything in my live career

Touched on his early brushes with comedy competitions including Australia Got Talent where he faked a seizure. His live action comedy video game The Dark Room started life as a YouTube video, then became a sleeper hit at the Edinburgh Fringe and is now a real video game for sale on Steam.

Jon Montague (@montiQu) is the head comedy commissioner at Sky TV. He heads up a team of diligent commissioning editors who are tasked with finding and making funny shows to entertain their 11 million subscribers. More recently Jon has also dipped his toe into podcasting and we got into what it's like making high end, high budget TV programs by day and low budget, low tech podcasts by night and how that's given him a new outlook on the internet, content and more.

I got him on to talk about...

-What makes a hit show on Sky and how he measures a hit show.

-Do they take unsolicited scripts?

-What makes a hit (to him and his team)?

-How he uses Edinburgh to scout for new talent

-What’s it like making TV for 11 million subscribers and then going home to make an episode of his niche podcast to a significantly lower number of subscribers.

This interview would be good for anyone looking at developing a TV show and isn't sure where to start or the process after writing it or a comedy fan who wants to know how much work and how many hurdles there are to get a show on the TV. It would also be useful in knowing the difference between a public and a private service broadcaster and why that matters when pitching for shows.

Rob Kemp (@RobotKemp) is the creator of the show the Elvis Dead (@ReadElvisDead). This show has won or been nominated for over a dozen awards including Leicester Comedy Festival Awards Best Show, Best Musical Show, Best Poster, The Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer and Chortle's best newcomer and music / variety act. After so much success, how has this changed Rob’s career? How is he dealing with the pressure of writing a follow up show? What is the future for the Elvis Dead and more?

This is an in-depth look into what it is like to get a lot of success in a very short space of time after a long time of not getting that much attention. Are awards worth what we’re told they are? Do they help sell a show? Which ones have the most impact if any?

Mark Tughan (@marktughan) opened the first Glee Comedy Club (@thegleeclub) over 20 years ago having just left his job as a city banker. He fell in love with comedy and put his money where his mouth is to become part of the industry. Today the Glee has 4 venues across the UK and continues to be (as he puts it) one of the elite "credible" comedy clubs outside of the London. 

We talked about...

• How and why he decided to quit his day job in finance and start the first purpose built comedy club outside of London.
• How the Glee Club reacted and dealt with competition in the cities they operate in.
• Why other clubs have come and gone and yet the Glee Club has prevailed.
• How the ride in the solo touring circuit has impacted the Glee Club.
• Is it a conflict of interest having an agent (Off The Kerb) book your club?

AND MORE!

This podcast would be great for anyone who is interested in gigging at the Glee Comedy Club chain or a professional comedian who already performs there who is interested in the venues history or a local comedy fan who wants to know more about what goes on behind-the-scenes at their local comedy club.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.

In this episode I interviewed comedian, promoter (and most importantly for this podcast) Edinburgh Fringe Program designer Sean Brightman. Sean has made thousands of flyers and been producing the PBH & Freestival Fringe Programs for a number of years. He kindly shared his "do's" "don'ts" and wisdom with us. We talked about -  

• How to make the most of your tiny listing.
• Are the Fringe program adverts worth it?
• What's different about PBH & Freestival programs?
• Is it worth having a photographer and designer as two separate people?

And lots more! If you're a comedian who is thinking about going to Edinburgh (or any Fringe festival) there should be something for you in this short episode.  I am sorry the audio quality isn't as good as it normally is, but we couldn't get in the same room and given how close we are to the deadlines (when I uploaded this) I just wanted to get it made and out there.

We recorded it over Skype (which is something I am trying to never do again!) You can find all the questions and things mentioned in the podcast in the show notes here - http://simoncaine.co.uk/ep13-sean-brightman-how-to-make-the-most-of-your-edinburgh-fringe-program-listing/ You can hear the other podcast interviews with marketing / designers here - http://simoncaine.co.uk/ATI/Marketing  Thanks so much for downloading, hope you enjoyed it.

Geoff Rowe co-founded the Leicester Comedy Festival while at University as a project for his degree. Since then, he's enjoyed it so much, he's carried on running it. His belief that a festival should be more than "a collection of shows that could take place anywhere" has made his festival community-led and quirky.

 I got him on the podcast to talk about -

• The history of the Festival and why it takes place in February
• What he thinks makes a good local Festival.
• Does Dave TV use your competitions to scout for new talent?
• How has sponsorship impacted (positively and negatively) the festivals development?
• What does the audiences come to watch and what does he want to book more of.
• Do you pick what shows go into the Festival?
• Does Dave have any say in who can / can’t perform?
• How to promote a show in Leicester if you don’t live there and the “do’s” and “don’t’s” in local promotion. Is it possible to run a Free show in Leicester?

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to any performer thinking of taking part in the Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival or audience attending the festival interested in the history of it.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.

In this "inbetweeneisode" I interview Rachel Holdsworth (comedy editor) & Stuart Black (review and in charge of the theatre listings) from the Londonist.

 If you're doing a show in London you might want to contact the Londonist. They have a large base of die-hard London fans who want to know about interesting and "left field" events happening in their hometown. So if you have an interesting show which you're bringing to the capital listen to this before contacting them. It could mean the difference between getting featured and your email getting ignored... As always, shownotes can be found here and you can find me on Twitter @thismademecool. See you next time, Si

In this episode I interviewed comedian, podcaster and Edinburgh Fringe designer Iszi Lawrence.

 This is the first in a "Fringe poster / marketing materials" series I am working on. As performers we all struggle to get good posters / flyers, this is my attempt to ease that pain and help make it easier to understand what makes a good poster for me ( and you). If you're not a comedian this podcast will give you an insight into the work and effort that goes into the production of a Fringe show and club set behind the scenes both before and after the performance.

 After talking about poster, flyer and marketing materials myself and Iszi kept talking about the deeper concepts around branding as a performer and things you can do above and beyond performing live to build audiences. It's a shorter episode as it was unplanned, but I still felt this was worth sharing.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.

In 2014 American comedian Liz Miele decided she wanted to release her first album after 13 years of performing comedy. She had no PR, no agent and very little budget. This is the story of how she took her jokes and made them go viral online to launch her career and downloadable CD.

We talked about - 

• Why New York the best place to learn comedy in America.
• How to build an audience over social media step-by-step (and how long it takes to build a connection with them).
• Why you should wait until you’re emotionally and comedically mature to chase big things like TV.
• How clubs in America use social media to sell tickets and create buzz
• The “risks” of sending opinions / thoughts on social media and why it can be more of a risk than performing stand up.
• The different level of “fans” and how to know which ones you’re dealing with.
• A step-by-step guide of how she made her videos go viral. How the internet emotionally impacts her.

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone interested in building an online fan base, or going viral, or wants to release an album / DVD on their own.
