Kurupt FM's MC Grindah

Question: is it a crime to be the most talented MC in the game? Probably is actually—explains why so many haters and feds are trying to shut man down. Creator of the biggest pirate radio station in the world, more or less, Kurupt FM. Put simply, the best-looking, most legendary lyrical artist to ever bless mic. So, a leader of men, yes, but also probably the humblest individual you’ll meet, especially given how incredible the skills are. And they are genuinely incredible. Can’t stress that enough, really.

Kurupt FM's DJ Beats

Right hand man to MC Grindah. The Lieutenant to his General. The DJ Luck to his MC Neat. But better, if anything. And that is really saying something if you think about it, cos Luck and Neat are still banging it out in Napa after all these years. Proud dad. (And proud DJ. Prouder DJ, if anything.)

Kurupt FM's DJ Steves

Weed activist. Researcher and truth seeker. The Earth is flat and is being governed by shapeshifting lizards. Time to wake up people.

Kurupt FM's Chabuddy G

Manager. Businessman. Ladies’ Man. Lover, fighter, tour promoter. Brains behind the legendary Kurupt FM crew. Inventor of Peanut Dust. Is there anything this hunk of man meat cannot do? There is not. Literally mate, you name it, I can not only do it, I can sell it and set it up with a promotional tour of Ipswich. In a word? Sexy entrepreneur. And that’s two words, which tells you everything you need to know about me and thinking outside the box.

Dawn French

Dawn French (pictured here in conversation with Jennifer Saunders) has been making people laugh for thirty years. On purpose. As a writer, comedian and actor, she has appeared in some of the UK’s most long-running and celebrated television shows, including French and Saunders; The Comic Strip Presents….; Murder Most Horrid; The Vicar of Dibley; Jam and Jerusalem; Lark Rise to Candleford, and Roger and Val Have Just Got In. Dawn stars in the very successful Delicious for Sky and is playing the leading role in a series for ITV, The Trouble with Maggie Cole.

Some of Dawn’s theatre credits include A Midsummer Night’s Dream; My Brilliant Divorce; Smaller; and her one woman show Thirty Million Minutes. Her number-one bestselling memoir, Dear Fatty, was published to critical acclaim in 2008. A Tiny Bit Marvellous, her first novel, went straight to number one and sold over half a million UK copies. Oh Dear Silvia and According to Yes, also achieved the number one position in the best sellers list. In 2017, Dawn created an interactive diary, Me. You. A Diary, and is currently in the middle of her fourth novel.

She has been a judge on every series of Comedy Central’s Roast Battle and can be seen as a Team Captain on E4’s 8 Out of 10 Cats.

I've listened to worse!

It is a freebie. There may be as many as 10 good laugh lines on the 4 hours and 16 minutes which is one every 25 minutes. I've lived in England and I appreciate good Brit humor. It can't be found here.

Fun Conversations

The lighter side of the pandemic with comedians. Fun listen. Hear about the lives of these comedians during the international health crisis. They don't take themselves too seriously.

Very entertaining

I wasn't familiar with most of these comedians, but I enjoyed hearing about their lockdown experiences in the UK. I also walked while I listened to it, so my additional comments in parentheses below were added later.

Chapter 1: Sarah Millican & Jason Manford

Chapter 2: Dawn French & Jennifer Saunders

Chapter 3: Kurupt FM (These guys were probably my favorite. They had me laughing out loud.)

Chapter 4: Jimmy Carr & Katherine Ryan

Chapter 5: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost (These are the only two British comedians that I knew from their past feature film work.)

Chapter 6: Rob Delaney & Sharon Horgan

Chapter 7: Tez Ilyas & Sindhu Vee (The guy's stories about his mom's adjacent fame cracked me up.)

Chapter 8: Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse

Thank for making me laugh

What a great freebie. Stars just being silly on the phone to each other. Talking about their families. Made me smile and laugh.

I didn't really get the Karupt FM crew as they are new to me but I'm going to look them up.

Worse than Bad, It's Boring

Have you ever wanted to listen to your boring neighbors talk about how much they dislike the lockdown?

Have you ever asked yourself what do comedians do when they're not being funny?

This is just a group of normal people talking about the lockdown with no particular structure or plan. Very little of it is even amusing, much less entertaining.

Instead, checkout Punchlines by Audible. That one had me in stitches for hours!
