Summary

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!

This week Pip is joined by Scotland's comic champ CHRISTOPHER MACARTHUR-BOYD!


You will surely know Christopher from the Here Comes The Guillotine podcast with comedy pals Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe (and if not, you won't go wrong by jumping in), but if CMB isn't someone you're directly familiar with, I guess the question would be... When have Scroobius Pip and the Distraction Pieces Podcast steered you wrong? Thank you. This is a really great and uplifting chat with someone who's been working his way up through the comedy game, via all kinds of paths, while receiving and heeding advice from folks he truly respects. Such humility has only done him well in the quest, and you'll hear about it all including the Fringe route, process, podcasting, the origin story, the draw of London, and altogether so much more. You'll love it. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 604. And might I say,

0:07.7

this is a classic episode. Brace yourselves. It's a classic episode. Not only does it have maybe

0:15.4

the coolest artwork and the one I post on on instagram in particular the digital selfie that we do

0:21.7

fun fact and something worth noting on the polaroid and on the digital for all the real nerds out there

0:27.7

when i have a guest on that i recorded over zoom and we haven't met in person i print out their

0:33.9

face cut it out of paper and blue tack it to a wall kind of in my garden.

0:40.6

Myself and today's guest, Christopher MacArthur Boyd, took the real life selfie in that exact

0:46.7

spot and it's the first time that's happened. So it's very exciting. You'll probably see bits

0:51.8

of blue tack in the background. As I mentioned, today's guest is the

0:55.8

wonderful Christopher McCarthur Boyd. Christopher is a comedian and a podcaster does co-hosts one of my

1:03.1

favorite podcasts. Here comes the guillotine with Frankie Boyle and Susie McCabe. It's a joy. It's

1:09.8

wonderful. If you're not already listened to it, go and give

1:12.6

it a listen. But me and Christopher have got a whole load of mutual friends. And because of the podcast,

1:20.3

I'd always heard good things, but because of the podcast, I've become a huge fan. And we sat down

1:24.7

and chatted, and we could have chatted for hours on end honestly you're going

1:29.3

to love this one we go off on so many tangents we go in so many circles up so many heels up so many

1:35.1

hills down so many valleys it's a real classic distraction pieces conversation i feel because we get

1:40.9

into heavy stuff we get into ludicrous stuff. It's irreverent in places.

1:45.6

It's probably mildly offensive.

1:47.1

We probably say several things that we maybe shouldn't say.

1:50.8

I don't know if Buddy Peace is going to bleep anything out on this episode, but I mean,

1:55.1

time will tell.
