Description

Finally we are getting a brand new voice on this podcast and what a voice it is. Gareth Bjaaland is a wonderful Showman. An acrobat, icarian games, juggling, all round really funny and generous performer. The reason we got into a conversation was Gareth's project of creating a list of the 12 Ingredients of Comedy. This was such an interesting exploration that the conversation went long, so I have divided it up into three parts. This being the introduction we meet and get to know Gareth, we learn about his genius solution to what  a performer does when they have to tour but also have a family, and we get an introduction of the project of making a map of comedy.I had such a great time talking to Gareth, or Cecil Pitt as he is also known as the pater fimilas of the wonderful show The Pitt's Family Circus. Here's a cool little video showing them in action. It is beyond cute. ...Now you can get t-shirts and hoodies with our wonderful logo. This is the best new way to suport the podcast project.
