Earl Okin (@EarlOkin) is a London singer-songwriter, musician and comedian. He's been performing music and musical comedy for over 40 years and knows the entire scene inside out. He also knows why things on the circuit and in Edinburgh have evolved the way they have. We talked about that and his biggest regrets along along with the biggest lessons he's learned. You can find Earl on his website or listen to him on his podcast.

I got him on the pod to talk about - 

• Starting on the folk circuit and what it was like when it folded.
• The history of the comedy circuit and how it has developed the way it has.
• How he makes a living as an alternative performer.
• The “old Edinburgh Fringe” and how and why it changed.
• How he went from being the “blue eyed boy” of Jongleurs to never wanting to set foot in the club
• How the Edinburgh Fringe died as a Fringe Festival
• Why what’s happening in pop music is happening in comedy and why he thinks it’s damaging.
• How musical comedians are treated behind the scenes.

Ally Wilson is the head of live at CKP (@ckpcomedy). CKP are a global touring agent who also organise extended London runs for performers at long established venues including the Soho Theatre.

I got her on the podcast to talk about...

• What is the Guinea pig club?
• When you’re looking for shows are you looking by thinking “I need to find something that works in this venue” or are you just looking for good shows?
• Are competitions worth doing?
• What is the industry's opinion of them?
• Are competitions filtering out some acts who struggle with 5 spots or aren’t snappy enough for gong shows?
• Do you worry about missing acts because of this?
• What sells a tour? Awards? Quotes? Credits?
• Is the live club circuit tied up within “industry” and how hard would it be for a performer without management to break through and play them regularly?
• Should you want to play every room?
• Is this idea a positive or negative one?
• Will quality always rise to the top or are there too many acts which means some are getting overlooked?
• Do TV comedy shows help or hurt comedians?

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.

Joe Charman found fame on Vine with his short jokes and "skills" videos which have led to him becoming an internet sensation. We talk about the highs and lows of going viral, dealing with haters, what it's like getting spotted in the street and how you can create your own fan base using the internet.

I got him on the podcast to talk about...

• His thoughts on Vine and other platforms
• Why he considers himself an “entertainer” and not a “comedian”
• What it was like being the tour support for Dapper Laughs while he was going through the controversy. How he found his voice and then found his audience.
• How he misses the anonymity of performing without the pressure of being “famous”.
• Does he think sponsored vines are “selling out” and how can you make money from being a Viner.
• How to make your content go viral.
• Can he make enough from adverts alone?
• How did you get the job as the support act for the Dapper Laughs tour?

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone who wants to build their own online fan base through free content.

I got him on the podcast to talk about...

• How he uses the Australian festivals to preview his shows on the other side of the world to prep for Edinburgh and the UK How to turn a marketing problem (not being able to describe his act) into an opportunity.

• And how talking to his audience on social media has helped him keep his audience keen on the act.
• How he uses “joke structures” the same way comedians do without talking.

AND MORE!

This is an audiobook extract of my new book (sorry no interview here, but don't pass over it... I think you're going to like this).

I want to publish my new book "How To Make A Living By Working For Free".

Hi... my name is Simon. Welcome to my crowdfunding project.

For the past 6 years I've worked in social media. In short this means I write jokes and make images for the internet. The longer story is I build communities through excellent free content that attracts an audience for brands.

For the last 5 years I've been a gigging comedian slowly building a fan base online through free content. I've used the knowledge and skills I've built in my day job to make communities around the different channels I operate in online.

This book explains everything I've learned from obsessively reading, learning and trying to work out how relationships build online, how to build a community around what you do as an artist to find, nurture and grow your community on and offline.

What I need from this crowdfunding it pretty simple... money to get the first print run of the book off the ground / get the digital book finalized and ready to go on sale on Amazon.

My target amount is the absolute minimum that I would need to get the book ready for the public. Anything above that would be sales / profit. 

I've set up some awesome rewards for early backers, but if there's something you want which isn't available, please email me (simon.m.caine@gmail.com) and I'll try to make it available for you.

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

Adam Larter (@lartymcparty) founded the Weirdos comedy club (@weirdoscomedy) in 2010. Not a traditional club, it's actually a revolving line up of comedians who act out shows, sketches and plays which he writers as well as a comedy night and a yearly panto.

 I got him on the podcast to talk about -

• What does “alternative comedy” mean to him? Has the term “alternative comedy” changed its meaning since the 1980s? Does alternative just mean something which isn’t mainstream and can an alternative comedian ever make it as a mainstream act? Why he does not do previews of his shows. Why he loves flyering at the Edinburgh Fringe (and why he’d gladly help you flyer your show!) How he has managed to make a profit in Edinburgh every year. What it is like being involved in the alternative circuit and how supportive it is. Is it harder to get constructive feedback from an audience who like what you do?

AND MORE!

Jessie joined Janklow & Nesbit in 2010, shortly after graduating from Leeds University with a degree in English Literature. As well as building up her list of fiction and non-fiction authors, she runs the company’s social media presence and sells foreign rights across a number of different territories. On the fiction side she’s looking for stand-out voices and original storytelling; novels that ask difficult questions, and explore the answers to those questions in a unique and imaginative way.

 I got her on the podcast to talk about -

• What is a literary agent?
• Where do you even start looking for the right agent?
• When should you approach an agent, what should you send and what are the common errors writers make?
• What happens from finding a book idea to getting it on the shelf with an agent.
• What books sell best in what country
• The value of social media for an author when pitching a book. Is the trend of internet celebrities getting book deals a fad? Or the way forward for the publishing industry?
• Are celebrity books pushing out books by new writers because they’re more bankable and more likely to sell?

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone who wants to get a book published or self-publish a book themselves and wants an agent to help that happen.

• Can I book just be launched as book or does it need to have a tour / launch party / blog content associated with it?
• How long does it take for a book to go from an idea to the bookshelf?
• When is the best time to bring out a comedy / humour book? How much and what should an author send Random House? The whole book? An idea?

Geoff Rowe co-founded the Leicester Comedy Festival while at University as a project for his degree. Since then, he's enjoyed it so much, he's carried on running it.

• What he thinks makes a good local Festival.

• How has sponsorship impacted (positively and negatively) the festivals development?

• Do you pick what shows go into the Festival?
• Does Dave have any say in who can / can’t perform?
• How to promote a show in Leicester if you don’t live there and the “do’s” and “don’t’s” in local promotion. Is it possible to run a Free show in Leicester?

In 2014 American comedian Liz Miele decided she wanted to release her first album after 13 years of performing comedy. She had no PR, no agent and very little budget. This is the story of how she took her jokes and made them go viral online to launch her career and downloadable CD.

We talked about - 

• Why New York the best place to learn comedy in America.
• How to build an audience over social media step-by-step (and how long it takes to build a connection with them).
• Why you should wait until you’re emotionally and comedically mature to chase big things like TV.
• How clubs in America use social media to sell tickets and create buzz
• The “risks” of sending opinions / thoughts on social media and why it can be more of a risk than performing stand up.
• The different level of “fans” and how to know which ones you’re dealing with.
• A step-by-step guide of how she made her videos go viral. How the internet emotionally impacts her.

AND MORE!
