from Some Laugh · host Some Laugh Podcast
Marc and Steve are joined by Still Game and Chewin' the Fat star and co-creator Ford Kiernan. They discuss some of the most iconic (and some of the lost) sketches from Chewin' the Fat, how starting out as a radio show led to the success of the TV version, and what made Ford's partnership with Greg Hemphill so special. Plus, they track the trajectory of Still Game from being performed at the Fringe, through to the television series and back to the stage at the Hydro. And Ford recounts the incredible story of a horse-racing game he invented in South Africa, reveals who some of his most memorable characters are based on, and explains how he ended up shouting "cut" on a Scorsese set.You can catch the Ford and Shelby Show here: https://open.spotify.com/show/2wvjggGSVdPOsD7CIKjWq9?si=6d6ae8f9cdc04d8bSee Marc's upcoming shows in Glasgow, Dundee & Edinburgh (including at the Fringe): https://www.marcjenningscomedy.com/liveSign up to our Patreon for fortnightly bonus eps plus footage from all the Some Laugh Live shows: https://www.patreon.com/somelaughSome Laugh Merch Available Now: https://visualanticsapparel.com/collections/some-laugh-podcastYou can watch the boays' stand-up specials for free here on the Some Laugh YouTube channel : https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM6lKn8dnMK5bOtlX-3XlCpZSf-B_qweQ&si=JjKknRTZvvza5l55 Stand-Up Tickets:Marc: https://linktr.ee/MarcJenkoStu: https://linktr.ee/StuartMcPSteve: https://linktr.ee/stephenbuchanan
