Be Funny Or DieThe Lavender Hill MobThis bonus Comfort Blanket podcast was originally made for a select few of the top patrons for the crowdfunder for the Be Funny Or Die book.In the end, that meant only a very select handful of the world’s most excellent people heard it, and since it’s a film that I love so much, and since I loved putting this episode together, I thought (a reasonable enough time after the book launch) it might be nice to share it a little more widely.Given the terrible situation that all Unbound’s authors have been l...2025-06-0430 min

Life in Stages with Joel GreenbergEp. 18 - Morris PanychMorris’s recollection of how discovering theatre transformed him is both moving and chuckle-worthy.

Playwright, director, actor – Morris works, and has worked, across the country and beyond.

Goon PodMonty Python's Life Of Brian (1979) - with Joel MorrisWriter and host of Comfort Blanket podcast Joel Morris joins Tyler this week to talk about Monty Python's Life Of Brian, released in 1979 to howls of impotent rage from those who refused to accept it for what it was but considered by everyone else as just a really funny film.
In some ways a satire on the nature of organised groups, be they politically or religiously motivated, the film centres around the character of Brian (Graham Chapman) in 33AD Judea, who although briefly seized by ideological zeal really just wants a quiet life and a girlfriend.
