05. Richard Gill
from Comedy in a Nutshell Hosted by comedynerd
In this episode I spoke to blogger, podcaster and comedy fan Richard Gill, who talked about his earliest comedy shows, the Edinburgh festival, making the comedian laugh, and saying positive things. I think I finally ran into Richard Gill at the Water Rats in North London in 2021, at one of Vix Leyton's excellent Comedy Arcade panel shows. Rich and I were well aware of each other's comedy pedigree by then and despite being surrounded by Vix Leyton, Rich Wilson, Robin Ince and Robin Morgan, we spend most of the remainder of the evening chatting with each other. Since then we've become firm friends in comedy and run into each other constantly, but now that we recognise each other, we can stop for a drink and a long dialogue about the exciting comedy we've seen since we last met. His blog "A Rich Comic Life" in which he archives the many shows he has seen over the years, has been called "a rare and wonderful thing" and it's a pleasure to know someone who loves live comedy (almost) as much as I do.
