One Night Stand by Simon Taylor : Reviews 2021 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide

Review of novel about a comedian facing a paternity crisis
Simon Taylor was a young, jobbing comedian on the Melbourne stand-up scene when a one-night stand led to a paternity scare that forced him to confront a different future from the one he’d envisaged.
Now he’s written his first novel – about a young, jobbing comedian on the Melbourne stand-up scene who had a one-night stand, leading to a paternity scare that forced him to confront a different future from the one he’d envisaged.
So it’s little surprise that the events in the book titled, you guessed it, One Night Stand, have an air of authenticity. The action starts in the Exford Hotel, a real-life backpackers’ hostel with weekly free comedy night, where our hero Ben Thomas is trying anything to engage with a thin audience of disinterested punters, despite being distracted himself.

Podcasts get mashed for Comic Relief : News 2021 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide

Comedians combine in fundraising efforts
A number of leading comedy podcasts have united for mashup episodes in aid of Comic Relief.
The hybrid episodes, which launched today, are:
Menus To Be Buried With: Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster combined with Films To Be Buried With Brett Goldstein. Goldstein, pictured, said: ‘I’m so excited to get Ped Bambles and the Genie on my podcast to discuss the pressing issues like the meal that meant the most to them and the sexiest meal they ever had.’
Hip Hop Saved The Horne Section: Alex Horne and The Horne Section mashed up with Romesh Ranganathan’s Hip Hop Saved My Life. Horne said: ‘If this is what it’s like to do a mash-up then I’m a big fan of mash-ups. Combining our stupid podcast with Romesh’s niche one meant we both had to do half the work for twice the listeners; probably more for us, to be honest, because I think his is more popular. ‘

Did Charlie Chaplin steal his tramp persona? : News 2021 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide

The forgotten Scottish comedian with a remarkably similar look
He was a box-office hit hailed as one of ‘the greatest comedians of the day’ – but history has largely forgotten silent movie star Billie Richie.
The Glaswegian was Scotland's first international film star, but he became overshadowed by Charlie Chaplin, who used several of the same comic techniques - including the tramp persona and drunk act.
Now one silent film historian is making an attempt to tip the balance back in favour of the overlooked Scot, described in newspaper reports of the day as the ‘tutor and teacher’ of Chaplin and ‘the funniest man in pictures’.
