Good afternoon, my lovers. I hope this podcast finds you well. 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.

Good morrow, merry Teavians. 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 work elsewhere at the minute, I'm putting myself on Fiverr to offer my services as a podcast editor, a session drummer and a voice over artist, so if you need anyone to do any of those things, hit me up via the below link or any of my socials, however you want! fiverr.com/sideaves So, go and check out Matthew online at; T - @matthewcrosby I - @matthewcrosby1 Podcasts - Go and search for Pappy's  to find all things Pappy's, who are incredible and also listen to his radio show with Ed Gamble on Radio X 8am-11am Sunday Mornings, which is also available as a podcast from where you get yours.

Good day, my lovely tea leaves. I'm absolutely delighted to bring you this chat with Luke Branch of Asylums and Cool Thing Records. 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. If you hear any weird noises in the background during the recording, there were LOADS of fireworks. Possibly to celebrate the second lockdown, possibly for Biden, possibly because it was a Wednesday, possibly because it was the night before fireworks night, who knows. But that's what it is. You can go and see more of Asylums at; I - @AsylumsUK T - @AsylumsBand W - coolthingrecords.com And please go and like, subscribe and share all things Tea Party at; I - @TPartyPod T - @TPartyPod F - The Comedian's Tea Party Big love to you all, thanks for listening, drink tea.

Hello, my lovely tea lights. I hope you're all well. I've been slow bringing this one out because I've had to take on a temp job so that I'm allowed to keep living in my house, but we're here now and the wait was worth it, because what an episode!

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 what he adapted his now defunct 2020 Edinburgh Fringe show, You Build The Thing You Think You Are, into, he's also going to be having live chats with some absolutely stellar guests righ after the showing.

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.

Greetings all, 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 Fiverr. Look him up for your 30 second song needs at - https://www.fiverr.com/darrahsounds You can find out what Rosie's up to at; I - @rosieisaholt T - @rosieisaholt W - www.rosieholt.com and get in touch with me/give me a follow/like all my posts at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod F - The Comedian's Tea Party As always, stay safe, stay home, wash your hands, don't suddenly move in with your elderly relatives, even if you do it "with integrity" Much Love, Si X

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". You can otherwise find him on; I - @jamielenman T - @jamielenman W - jamielenman.com And as ever, please drop me a follow and some likes at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod F - The Comedian's Tea Party And also, as I promised to my good pal Lewis, go and check out Calm These Tides by clicking on their name there, with their new single dropping on Spotify on the 8th of May.

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.

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. Find her and her wonderful cartoons at; I - @amyfmatthews T - @amyfmatthews F - Amy Matthews Comedy W - amymatthewscomedy.com And as ever, please give me a follow and all of the likes at; I - @tpartypod T - @tpartypod  F - facebook.com/tpartypod Until the next time, please stay safe, stay home and stay happy. Much love, Si X

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 - T - @tpartypod I - @tpartypod E - tpartypod@gmail.com 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. Si X

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. And don't forget to like and subscribe to the podcast give a lovely review and follow and just generally get in touch at - T - @tpartypod I - @tpartypod E - tpartypod@gmail.com Enjoy the podcast. Be good each other. Have a little Tea. Si X
