54 - Toby Williams

In this episode we talk to comedian Toby Williams. Better known as his alter ego Dr George Ryegold, Toby is an award-winning comedian regularly performing stand-up in the top clubs around London and the UK, recently opening for Jerry Sadowitz. He's most recognisable at the moment from his comic turn on the latest Spec Savers ads. His accolades include ‘Amused Moose Laughter Award Top 10 Comedy Show’ at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013, Scotsman’s ‘Top Five Comedy Shows at the Fringe’ 2012, Dave’s ‘Top 10 Funniest Jokes of the Fringe’ 2012, winner of ‘Best Show’ at The Leicester Comedy Festival 2011, winner of a Three Weeks Editors’ Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011 and a nomination for ‘The Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality’ for his debut Edinburgh 2009 show ‘Trample The Weak, Hurdle The Dead’. This year he brought his show "Adulterated" to the Edinburgh Fringe. We talk to him about the fringe, advertisements and how to deal with walkouts.
