384 - Adam Rowe

CW: Discussion of transphobia by people who aren’t affected by it.Adam Rowe is a killer. Huge punchlines, banging material that draws screams and whoops from his crowd, and a laser-like focus on achieving his ambitions. But what does his urge to defend controversial opinions for fun cost him, or indeed his audience?We talk at length about whether or not his “Victoria’s Secret” routine is transphobic, and whether getting the laugh is more important than a moral or ethical stance. We also cover whether aiming to be the best is enough to stay happy, the origins of his very shrewd “Club Comic” special, and where his drive comes from.30 mins of extras available exclusively to the Insiders Club features Adam on the smash hit success of his and Dan Nightingale’s “Have A Word” podcast; some great insights into his writing process; and why he assumes he has ADHD. Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much more, including the exclusive Insiders Q&As with Nish Kumar, James Acaster and Fern Brady and the incredible “self-help for comedians” special with Amanda Donnet.Catch up with Adam Rowe:Have a word podcast - https://haveaword.page/TW @adamrowecomedywww.adamrowe.co.ukIG @adamrowecomedian“Club Comic” www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9E5NYKOBdkEverything Stu's up to:This podcast is @ComComPod on Twitter and Instagramwww.comedianscomedian.comStu offers remote talks to business on what the distilled wisdom of over 350 comics can teach you about resilience, especially in times of pandemic.“The most inspiring talk I’ve had in years!” (LEGO staff member)Find out more at www.stuartgoldsmith.comStu’s “Virtual Office Party” is now available as the perfect solution to remote-working office parties, sales conferences, motivational and wellbeing events.“It was an absolutely hysterical and wonderful evening, for both those partaking and everyone watching online!”- Maria Kuzak (Fundraising Manager at CALM)The games and interactive element were hilarious and extremely well executed! 10/10 from us, you created a real buzz in our business, thank you." - Ben Gott, (SVP at Merkle)For more info on how this unique concept can bring your staff together while working apart, go to www.stuartgoldsmith.com Hosted on Acast.
