emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Jamie Demetriou, originally episode 212 from 2018-06-20.

Original writeup below:

You’re going to be seeing a LOT more of Jamie over the next month or two as he’s about to unveil his new series ‘Stath Lets Flats’, which is part of Channel 4’s ‘Comedy Blaps’ vehicle - in the meantime, enjoy this proper get together with Pip and Jamie, as the two cover a ton of ground in the cosy but apparently humid Acast studios to discuss the use of the not often utilised Greek accent in comedy, working on a small scale as a jumping board for larger scale work, the fact that he’s “Always done idiots”, working with and promoting his comedian sister, the heightened but committed character, reactions to comedy within the actual scenes, improv and the importance of casting, the insanity and craziness of the Edinburgh Fringe, the idea of ‘anti-comedy’, and it’s important to point out that while this episode features reference to David Earl throughout, the podcast is not sponsored nor overseen by him. But check him out whenever you can, of course. He’s awesome. So’s Jamie. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by the excellent and truly unique actor DAVID DASTMALCHIAN!

The perfect guest for this episode 🤘 as the Iron Maiden classic spins in the background... David is a fantastic presence who has awesome stories but it's not just that, it's the whole vibe. Some might say "essence", if they're feeling snooty. But whatever the weather - always a good hang. There is a HUGE amount of covered ground here as you'd hope, including a hot off the press movie recommendation, some Cyndi Lauper business up top, music recommendations, loving LA as a vampire (complete with black umbrella), early Chicago days artistry, craft, process, gratitude and reckoning with past addictions having been in recovery for almost 2 decades. And, as Pip hints, tales for days. Really great stuff, proper Distraction Pieces goodness or - if you will - Dastmalchian Pieces, as it shall be known for this episode. Thank you.

This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Georgina Campbell, originally episode 90 from 2016-03-23.

Original writeup below:

(welcome) WELCOME w-e-l-c-o-m-e (trying to match Pip's impulse to change that cadence at the start) to your 90th episode of the Distraction Pieces Podcast, featuring the wonderful and crazy skilled Georgina Campbell! A bright and breezy chat to match the time of year, with a super nice back and forth between Georgina and Pip covering all the good stuff, from her being talent-scouted in the street, to her earlier roles and influences, her awards win for 'Murdered By My Boyfriend', and the back catalogue of goodness as well as the - forward? - catalogue of greatness down the road... Such a nice, uplifting and inspiring chat from one of the UK's finest. Georgina Campbell is your new best friend!
