Simon Brodkin (Part One)
Manage episode 424207266 series 1413022
This week on Walking The Dog, we’re taking a sunny North London stroll with Simon Brodkin! Simon is a brilliant stand up comedian, well known and loved for creating the characters Lee Nelson and Jason Bent, as well his hugely publicised stunts, which include throwing golf balls at Donald Trump and handing Theresa May a P45. In recent years, Simon has started performing stand up as himself, and he is currently touring his show Screwed Up.
Simon is a cat lover - he has two Lilac Burmese cats at home, but we think he and Ray really hit it off! Simon tells us about his childhood in Hampstead Garden Suburb, as part of a family where he felt like the black sheep - then how he went on to become a doctor and later made the switch to comedy. Simon had a later in life ADHD diagnosis and he explains how the diagnosis has helped illuminate parts of his earlier life.
Simon has added final extra dates to his stand up tour Screwed Up - including two extra shows at London's Hammersmith Apollo. Tickets are selling fast, so head to simonbrodkin.com for dates and more details.
