  • 196 - JO BRAND: Why Every Chapter of Your Life Teaches You Something | GREAT MOMENTS

    Jo Brand is a laugh a minute. As a comedian, writer and actress, she has been making the nation laugh for decades.


    I wanted to revisit my conversation with Jo because, beyond the laughs, she's so wise and knowledgeable about the world. There’s something in our conversation for everyone to take away.


    In this Great Moment, Jo opens up about how being a psychiatric nurse helped her as a stand-up comedian, and how she was able to hilariously heckle her hecklers.

  • 193 - JAKE SHANE: Why I Can’t Enjoy My Own Success

    Jake Shane is a comedian and content creator who has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most exciting rising stars. What started as making videos at home with his friends has turned into a cult following of millions and a hit show, Therapuss with Jake Shane, where he’s interviewed everyone from Sandra Bullock to Kylie Jenner.


    I’ve been a fan of Jake’s for a long time and sitting down with him was so much fun. But despite having millions of followers and so much success, Jake finds it surprisingly hard to enjoy what he’s achieved.


    In our conversation, Jake shares:

    Why he struggles to enjoy his own successHis thoughts on the Vanity Fair Red Carpet dramaThe guest he was most nervous for on TherapussWhy he never felt the need to come outHis obsessed with British culture


    After speaking to Jake, it’s clear he has the most incredible career ahead of him, and I can’t wait to see what he does next. Eight out of eight tentacles from me.


    Jake Shane is Great Company.
