The Comedian's Tea Party with Si Deaves

Episode 22 - Mark Simmons

Good day to you, my tealights(? ... Does that work? Tea leaves? I'll work on it)

I hope you're all well.

Thanks for downloading and listening and checking out the podcast. It's a lovely little chat with my pal, Mark Simmons, today. A very funny man who you may have seen on the likes of Mock The Week.

We discuss all sorts from writing in lockdown, to going on a date in Ireland, Mark's new sitcom available on his socials (links below) and fixing jokes.

Also, and please get in touch and let me know... Call it market research; Does fresh air make you tired?

Episode 21 - Jamie Lenman

Good day, you beautiful creatures.

I hope you're all doing well in the strangest of times. I had a panic attack this morning that stopped me from going for a run, so that's where I'm at... But no, I'm otherwise doing very well and I'm sure that would have happened regardless.

This episode is one of my favourites of all time. I'm a huge fan of Jamie and his work and it was such a pleasure to get to talk to him in this chat. We discuss so, so many things of so many levels of interest, so you're in for a real treat.

If you don't know who Jamie Lenman is, then do yourself a favour and look him and his work up, both his solo career and his work with Reuben, one of my favourite bands. He's very easily searchable "there's only one Jamie Lenman".

Much love, everyone, thanks for tuning in.

Be cool, be kind, be tea.

Episode 20 - Damian Clark

Hello locked-down tea lovers.

I hope you're all very well and having a lovely day. Hopefully those of you still working aren't too busy and those of you who aren't are having the best time you could be, given the restrictions.

This is a properly lovely episode this week, quintessential Tea Party. I drink an 'Up Beet' tea from Teapigs and Damo has a Rooibos tea from East India Company.

We talk about all sorts, from Ant-Man to falling in love with an algorithm and pooing as a billionaire and the Coronaissance. It's loads and loads of fun.

Don't forget to go and check out Damo's show on Youtube, 'Grand Theft Damo' by clicking HERE.

Episode 19 - Amy Matthews

Hello there, locked down tea drinkers!

I hope you're all coping as well as you can be and enjoying the company of those who you're locked up with. Or if you're on your own, I hope you've got a PlayStation!

This is the first of what I imagine may be quite a few episodes recorded during the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020, so we're talking via Skype, so the quality isn't of my usual standard, but I think it comes across okay. Either way it doesn't detract from how fun the chat was, talking about adjusting our lifestyles, regressing in our social media behaviour and even tackling anxiety.

We're both drinking sleepy teas, mine was sent to me by Teapigs and Amy had one from Pukka Teas, supplied by her cupboard.

Episode 18 - James Cranfield

Greetings my lovely listeners,

What a wild time in the world we are meeting. I hope you're all well, along with your loved ones. These are trying times and anxiety is high, so look after yourselves and each other. I hope you have some toilet paper and potatoes. A strange start to a blurb, but it's a strange time.

Welcome to episode 18 with my friend and taxidermy & curiosities dealer and occasional improviser, James Cranfield. Or Cranfield to his friends.

We cover a great many subjects from pigeon poop to Bottom and many things in between,

I always plug social media accounts, but seriously, @thetaxidermist is really, really worth a follow, because his account and stories often have to be seen to be believed. You can also find him on Facebook by searching for Cranfield's Curiosity Cabinet and you can find him at his shop in Leigh-on-Sea.

And don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast give a lovely review and follow and just generally get in touch at -

The other account to take a look at, in the interest of spreading positivity, is @cals_book_account give him a follow, his story is heartwarming.

Enjoy the podcast. Drink a tea, Love each other. Wash your hands.

Episode 17 - Matt Price

Good day my lovelies, thanks for making it back here.

This one was a really great chat and I had loads of fun, Matt's stories were fascinating and we had a good laugh. I also left in one "bad" swear word because it is particularly worth it. Consider yourselves warned. We drank some lovely tea that Matt brought back from his trip from Russia, the reason behind his being in Russia is just one of many fascinating tales and another reason you should also listen to his podcast, Conversations With Criminals.

I also had a bit of a breakdown in the intro and outro being distracted by the lovely *redacted*, but I left some bits in that I thought were funny.

Don't forget to check Matt out on Twitter at @mattpricecomedian and also to Google him and find out when he's coming near to you so you can treat yourselves and see him live.

Episode 13 - Ali James

Hello my lovely tea drinkers,

Welcome back after my house-moving-hiatus. It's been a wild few weeks, but I'm finally in my house and getting myself level again, so I should start getting a bit more regular with some podcast records and releases.

But either way, for now, thanks for listening.

This week we have the inimitable Ali James, improviser, actor and incredible Cilla Black impersonator (not that I think that's public knowledge). She's an improviser with the award winning and mind-blowing Showstopper, who are more than worth your time checking out.

We play some improv games, talk about life, being an adult, Jim Carrey and largely we talked about the Southend 24 Hour Improvathon, which is happenith ing on 4/10/19, in which I will be taking part for the "wild" hours of 1am-11am. It's going to be at Trinity Football Club in Southend and tickets are £5 for the first episode and £2 for each episode thereafter, with a ticket for the full 24 hours being up for grabs at the incredible price of £20.

Tickets available from the box office on 01702 460706 or on the door.
