    My Life's a Pitch guest spot

    Matt Turner and Tom McGrath (the latter of my own show, Radio Go!) have a fantastic long-running comedy podcast called Life’s a Pitch, where they pitch fake movies based on titles suggested by the audience. It rules, and I’ve been a guest a few times over the years. This week, with Tom away, Matt and I pitched family spy movies such as “MI6-Year-Old” and “Mum’s the Word”. It was very silly and is a terrific way to spend an hour. Listen here!

    Radio Go! Live on Stage

    What a wonderful night we had at the first ever “Radio Go! Live on Stage” last Sunday! I couldn’t have asked for a more generous and receptive crowd for our maiden voyage, and I’m thrilled to say we succeeded massively in bringing our special brand of nonsense to the stage. We had laughs, songs, and feet all through the night!

    My thanks go out to our performers: Pierre Finnimore as adventurer Edwin Fishbutt, Stan Skinny as wrestler Captain “The Butcher” Reality, and Owen Scrivens as his good self! An extra special shout out to our intrepid producer Tom McGrath - we surprised the audience with his appearance, and I’m just delighted he was able to join in the fun!

    Thanks also to Jenny Garner for running the tech without a hitch, James Lickman for taking these photos and being exceedingly helpful in all things, and everyone at Alder for having us! My biggest thanks goes to you, if you came - you were the best crowd I could ask for. See you at the next one?

    My first stand-up show!

    Last night I had the pleasure of performing ten minutes in support of my good friend Sash at the Super Secret Showcase Hour. Thank you to everyone who showed up, it was a total blast and I’m so excited to do more!

    Radio Riley on Streamplace

    I had some fun playing with the new Streamplace, spinning various music and comedy bits. If I do it again you’ll hear about it on Bluesky!

    Radio Go!'s first episode launches today

    It’s the start of something beautiful - episode number one! In this premiere episode Riley interviews Frank Abernathy, a vampire (Ash Routh). Plus, we read your comments and bring you the serious news. Listen now at radiogo.show or on your podcast player!

    Mixing sketches, stories, songs, and stream-of-consciousness nonsense, Radio Go! is the silliest thing you’ll hear today. Set inside a radio station, the show sees host Riley Routh (The Tide) and producer Tom McGrath (Life’s a Pitch) invite a preposterous guest to join them. From there, absolutely anything can happen, and usually does.
