Ep 127: "Are You Okay?" with Paul McDaniel

This week Steve and Marc are joined by comedian Paul McDaniel. Paul describes growing up in 1980's Northern Ireland and how his father journalism carreer led to one of the biggest figures of that era coming round to their house; explains what it was like working for the BBC Complaints department during the height of the "Sachsgate" scandal involving Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross; and reveals how an Edinburgh Fringe show where he gigged to 0 people "went really well" in his eyes. Plus, there's chat of finding your comedic voice in stand-up, social media addiction and dating a Scientologist.
