The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisde 60 - Greg WinfieldHello, my little tea bags,
It's lovely to see you all back and it's lovely to be back, myself.
I bring to you, on this fine day, Greg Winfield. We had a lovely chat during the first week of my tour while I was in Bristol. It was as mad as it was funny and I can't wait for you to hear it.
As ever, I forgot to ask you all to drop the show 5 stars and tell your friends, but hopefully that's a given at this point, but still, it's worth asking.2024-02-2553 minThe Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 59.5 - The Si-Clops SpecialHello everybody,

Welcome back and apologies for my absence just as I was getting back into the swing of it. I had a malfunction with some recording hardware and it's taken them weeks to send me a replacement. Oh the joy.

We talk about all sorts from her time on Take Me Out with Paddy McGuinness, to the unlikely connection between my dad and Francis Bourgeois.

This is now the third time I'm trying to upload this episode, last night Podbean decided to delete it without telling me and my computer just crashed, so if it doesn't work this time then I'm just going to burn my laptop and nobody can hear it.
Thank you all so much for downloading the last episode with Paul Schiernecker and for the positive feedback, especially after being away for so long. It was a wonderfully fun episode and it's lovely to be back.
Speaking of a fun episode...2023-05-041h 56The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 53 - Paul SchierneckerHello one and all,
Thank you so much for returning after my unexpected hiatus. A number of extenuating circumstances contributed to the break, which I briefly mention in the intro, but rest assured, I also cover them in my new show, Best Thing Ever, which you can find dates for when I'm performing it either at sideaves.com or at linktr.ee/sideaves.

This week I have for you comedian and movie star extraordinaire, Mike Sheer. It's a very fun and silly chat with a lovely pal and comedian. We talk about all sorts of nonsense and learn a surprising amount of things too. This is normally a conversation between 2 people having a nice time who don't really know much better, but this time we had some people in the background who were more knowledgeable as we were recording before a show for...2022-04-281h 04The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 51 - Markus BirdmanHello my loves,

Welcome back and I hope you're all very well, indeed!
This episode I talk to Matt Green who you may have seen in an advert with Harvey Keitel, stealing Crunchy Nut Bites from customers in a supermarket or from one of my favourite TV shows, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place (he's also been in loads of other stuff, he's a very talented man, but those are my favourites) and now you'll know him as that guy that was on Si Deaves' podcast, right? Maybe.
If you enjoy the podcast and want...2021-12-141h 38The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 48 - Wob Wob Rob (Rob Glenister)Hello my lovely tea bags,
I've had a bit of a hiatus, apologies, but I have been supremely busy, but I'm back now and ... Well, not better than ever, but just as good.
This is a lovely episode with my good friend Rob Glenister, a computer game music composer and sound designer, as Wob Wob Rob, and occasional stand-up and improviser. It's a very fun and interesting conversation and I'm glad to finally bring it to your ears.

This week I have the wonderful comedian and co-host of the podcast Eyre-Leigh Doors, Pauline Eyre, who is NOT, apparently, the 'fictionary'™️ sister of Jane Eyre. Who knew.
This week we talk about how she doesn't like tea and, upsettingly, doesn't drink any on the episode, we discuss her connection to Radiohead (I'm so jealous and watching them on TV as I type this) and some surprisingly good chips.
It's a very fun episode, indeed.

That greeting will make more sense as you get into the podcast.
In this episode my guest is the wonderful Yuriko Kotani. We have an incredibly fun chat in which we rewrite the way that all future Edinburgh Fringe shows will be written, we talk about speaking different languages and we get deeply philosophical in the most silly of manners and manage not to cry.

This episode I bring Maff Brown to your ears, from Mock The Week and his own stages of Outside The Box comedy clubs.
It's a real cracker talking about comedy and the business in general, as well as people we've witnessed losing their minds during lockdown and how that's affecting careers.
I also do an impression, which is entirely visual and absolutely wasted in an audio medium.
Don't forget, importantly, if you don't ask, you don't get.

This week I bring to your ears Paul Savage, comedian and cartoonist.
We talk about living on a boat, benign violation, the best way to deliver a serious show, meerkats and books for women.
I also get a brand new Teamergency question out of the episode.

Jon Long is my guest this week and we are having a lovely chat, indeed. Jon is one of the first people I ever met in comedy and it's been lovely to watch his journey to see him become the comedian he is today, so he's well worth your time to go and check him out.

This week I had Fiona Ridgewell "in" for a chat. She tells me about her time in the ring and its similarities to stand-up, including paying her school bully to get people to punch her in the face. We also talk about working during the lockdown and her want for a garden in case of another one.

Welcome to this episode with Matthew Crosby, it's a ruddy good one.
I have some (loads of them) technical difficulties, which I do get ironed out in the end, but my word, I felt sick for a moment.
Anyway, it all worked out as Matthew was very generous with his time and we got on famously and, I suspect could have talked all day given the opportunity.
I'll put it here before you read on to the all important social links, in response to not finding much...2020-11-161h 46The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 30 - Luke BranchGood day, my lovely tea leaves.

It's loads of fun, has loads of insight and loads of nonsense. You'll love it.
Come and find out what Luke wears in the summer and what he dips in his tea. It's bizarre. Also find out which part of him he'd most like to evaporate first.

We talk about oast houses, the garden of England, Red Hot Reckless Rod, bike riding in London, going to school with the offspring of tea magnates and Bugsy Malone. As well as finding out his opinions on farts. It's not one to be missed.
Speaking of Joz being funny, he's here to plug his live streamed film that is running all of next week, 20th-26th July 2020, of...2020-07-181h 09The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 25 - Brennan ReeceHello my little tea bags,

I have for your delectation a very fun episode, indeed, with the lovely Brennan Reece, who you may have seen in such shows/films as Live At The Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show Roast Battle, Three In A Bed, SoulBoy, but who you will never see in The Vessel.
Brennan teaches me about Penguin straws and introduced me to almost his entire family, including his multi-poo.

In this episode I talk to stand-up, actor and as I also learnt, improviser, Rosie Holt.
It's a truly amusing episode and we laugh a lot. We discuss writing, performing and dating while in lockdown and how Rosie's not doing much of any of those. We also talk about Rosie's favourite sexist tea, which leads to some hilarious, but questionable conversation. Rosie also talks about politician "Jeffrey Rees-Mogg".
This is also the first episode which has finally got some intro music, created, for a very nominal fee, by Mike Darrah on...2020-05-241h 16The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 22 - Mark SimmonsGood day to you, my tealights(? ... Does that work? Tea leaves? I'll work on it)

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.

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.

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...2020-04-171h 15The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 18 - James CranfieldGreetings 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.

We cover a great many subjects from pigeon poop to Bottom and many things...2020-03-211h 34The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 17 - Matt PriceGood 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'm sorry I've been away for so long, but I promise it's for good reason. I hope you all understand, but thank you for returning to bring some tea to your ears!
Speaking of, I've just this second realised that I never even mentioned what tea I was drinking. WELL, I was drinking Twinings 'Glow' from their Superblends range through the night. It was glorious and really kept me going. But I've spoken about that before on the last episode when I tried it. It comes with my hearty recommendation.2020-01-031h 27The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 13 - Ali JamesHello 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.

Thanks for finding yourselves back here, I've got a smasher for you, with Abigoliah Schamaun.
She tells me about an incredible trip she's taking, and I really think you should all send her messages of luck and positive thoughts to help her out when it gets tough! We talk American teas, eye surgery, yoga, growing older, parking in Camden and much, much more.
Be sure to check out her tour dates at abigoliah.com/tour

How are you? Well? Good. I'm really good, but a bit tired, thanks for asking.
Welcome to this new episode with Ash Frith, it was a genuine blast recording this, so I hope you enjoy it, too.
Thanks to both Teapigs and Twinings for the tea this week, we have some new ones incoming any time now, which is exciting.

Welcome to episode 10, the first EVER live recorded episode of The Comedian's Tea Party where this week I chat to the one and only Stuart Goldsmith of Comedian's Comedian Podcast (and also of his own comedic merit) fame.
It was such an absolute joy chatting to Stuart this week and also great fun getting to see his show later in the day after recording this. It's going to be a truly great show if you get a chance to see it in Edinburgh, or on tour. Or if you're reading this...2019-07-261h 00The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 9 - Winter FoenanderHello folks,
Welcome to this week's ramblings with Winter Foenander/Dominus/is coming...
This week we talk woody teas, apple feet and their other anatomy, Bach (the composer, not the acronym), world tours, people railroading comedy nights with dark news, fields of mushrooms, doing the splits for Shaolin monks and Winter's oddly early development of his love of tea.

Congratulations on finding your way to this podcast. I do hope you enjoy it.
It's a fun one this week, talking to a very good friend of mine, comedian and radio host, Matt Adlington. We talk about all sorts from ground breaking work in the renaming of milk alternatives to his criminal hobbies, we cover a number of things that Matt struggles to pronounce and he talks about how his favourite milk is made from old ropes. We even manage to conclude a story that I actually started in the very first...2019-07-061h 24The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 7 - Jordan GrayWelcome, chum, to episode 7 with my guest this week, Jordan Gray.
This one is an absolute treat with some really fun chats, some serious bits and some truly silly bits. It's quintessential TCTPWSD! Jordan is a pop music artist turned comedian and is very quickly making a name for herself for good reason. We discuss things all the way from Pokemon to threesomes to what is scientifically the best biscuit for dunking in a slightly longer than normal, but brilliantly fun and engaging chat.
Thanks, as ever to Teapigs for supplying the tea for this...2019-06-261h 44The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 6 - Ross McGraneNothing for weeks and 2 in a week this time round, but it's all so that I can plug my show at The Southend Festival this Saturday (15/06/19 www.thesouthendfestival.co.uk *ahem*).
This episode I have another of my good friends, Ross McGrane and we have a very fun chat, talking about the comedy industry, guessing what our teas were made of (both of which were supplied by Twinings again, so thanks so much for the tea, Twinings, you legends, they were lovely). Ross swears a bit and we discuss John Oakes' ridiculous and controversial renaming of chocolate d...2019-06-131h 11The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 5 - John OakesIn episode 5 I have a very fun chat with comedian, improviser, actor, radio show host and much, much more, John Oakes. We talk about all of the important things, like hippos, Skeletor and coasteering, John gets stuck in a pun hole, which is always a delight to witness and never ceases to amaze me as I'm awful at thinking of puns, let alone to the extent that he can.
This week we have some delicious teas, one of which is one of John's favourites and those are both supplied by Teapigs, so thanks to them. We have...2019-06-121h 28The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 4 - Andy StoreyHello,
Apologies for another brief hiatus, it's been a whirlwind, but I'm back with this episode and 2 more next week, promoting The Southend Festival.
At which, don't forget, I'll be launching the whole festival on 15/06/19 with Si's Matters at The Alex.
See more, and who else is on, at www.thesouthendfestival.co.uk
In this episode we have Andy Storey, we talk about being awkward and how to make the best of it, our favourite smells and the advantages of being bent in half over a giant fan. He a...2019-06-081h 31The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 3.5 - A Lonely TeaHere's a little extra episode just to explain my whereabouts and my unexpected break! You can hear me try a tea out, solo, which in this episode is 'Happy' from Teapigs! You can also hear me essentially have a breakdown as I start laughing at my own jokes!
More regular instalments will be coming soon, so stick around for good humour and good tea!

We talk a surprising amount about poo, a special tea pot inspired by a confused woman at a fairground, literally exotic teas and some special snacks and treats supplied by Chris, himself (apologies in advance for any sounds of eating).
Our tea this week was Twinings Superblends Matcha Green Tea with cranberry and lime and a couple of special teas supplied by Chris which are revealed in the show.

The Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 2 - Sarah BreeseIn this episode I talk to Sarah Breese largely about nonsense, science, the Welsh language, we discover a letter, talk about how to improve your gigs, blood-sports and Sarah teaches me a better way to make tea.
We are drinking a tea provided by the wonderful Teapigs this week, which was specifically the chocolate and mint flavour. Come and see what we thought about it as the podcast progresses.

...2019-03-2950 minThe Comedian's Tea Party with Si DeavesEpisode 1 - Carl DonnellyIn the inaugural episode of The Comedian's Tea Party I chat to comedian Carl Donnelly about absolutely all sorts, including religion, wildlife, Carl's origin story of how he became a quiz expert, body language and more. We drink a couple of tasty teas that were kindly supplied by Twinings Tea from their brand new Superblends range, which are well worth a look.
