Thom Tuck

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

-------------------

I am still LOVING delivering your weekly podcast. Well, it gives the poor old sod, something to do between Spitting Image zoom calls don't it. I appreciate every single pledge more than you could ever know, especially as telly is still so unpredictable.  One thing that hath cheered me up is I have got my first sniffs of paid acoustic background music gigs in the surrounding villages near me. And actually I have decided to try some busking to earn some gigging stripes. Hey ho.

Anyway, absolutely belting chat for you all this week with fringe comedy legend Thom Tuck. The lad is truly aaf his nut and super-bright. I love talking to him and being pulled all over the philosophy map with clear and sensible thinking that always blindsides me as a result of coming from someone so dedicated to utter silliness.

In this weeks episode we talk about Thom's unconventional upbringing, his early comedy influences, his love of Leeds United Manager Mark Bielsa (apparently an actual God) and our best ever day out together watching Neil Young and Bob Dylan at Hyde Park two shitty covid-infused years ago. Are the good times coming back? I feel they might be. So you see I'm not THAT miserable.
