John Tothill
Notas do episódio
John Tothill is one of the most exciting stand-ups to come out of the UK in recent years. Debuting in 2023, he’s now on his third show with This Must Be Heaven - the story of his near death experience and an underwhelming cruise. In this episode we discuss:
- the brutal truth about moving from open mics to pro gigs
- why early WIPs are often funnier than complete shows
- the loneliness of being trapped on a cruise ship after bombing every night
- why crowd work makes him uncomfortable
- scaling material up for bigger rooms while supporting Alan Davies
- and we find out if John Tothill is happy…

- the realisation that not everyone will get your material, but the right people really will
- what trait is most likely to obstruct success
- why “doing the work” often looks like not doing the work at all
- and the fear about where the world goes next…
