Shownotes
It's not always the case that I've seen my guests on the television before I get to speak with them but as a fan of BBC2's The Mash Report, I had already seen and been entertained by the talented Mr Steven Allen.
It was fascinating to hear that Steve never used to think he was funny and ended up following a different path initially but we can all be very glad he found his funny bone and has been busy making people laugh ever since.
Since lockdown, Steve started up a podcast called 'Comics Solving Problems' because, well, why not? With Steve's scientific background and analytical approach, who better to be taking on the problems of the world? You can get a taster of Steve's humour on this show, what makes things funny, how Steve puts his material together for stand up and more besides.
A very enjoyable chat with a funny guy and you can find The Mash Report on BBC's Player service if you're in the UK. You can find Steve's podcast and when comedy gigs are a thing again, I recommend getting yourself along.

Do you want to join the Known, Booked & Paid Blueprint September Case Study group?
This September I'll be working with a group of 5 speakers who are already speaking but not getting the level of bookings and speaker fees that they really want. We'll work on the 3 key areas that will allow your speaking business to flourish. Since it's the founding group, there's an extra special deal on the price for joining that will never be repeated. Go to https://presentinfluence.com/kbpb for full details.
