The Comedian’s Comedian podcast, in which comic Stuart Goldsmith interviews one standup per episode, has now featured more than 500 guests. But never the tricksy comedian Luke McQueen. So this show opens with a real (or is it?) phone call to Goldsmith, during which McQueen demands to know why he’s never been on the podcast. The answer is of little consequence. McQueen has a sample of Goldsmith’s voice so he can create a compliant AI version of the podcast host and record his own episode live on stage.
McQueen’s past work on stage and TV has delighted in playing with the truth. He pretended to be the scorned former double-act partner of Jack Whitehall, lured audiences into a show on the false promise that Frankie Boyle would be there, and publicly debased himself to win back a fictional girlfriend.
