This episode features Luke McGibbon, who pretty much covers all bases on the podcast, and left me wondering why I didn't ask him sooner! Luke is a fantastic local comedian who also works full-time as a mental health counsellor. We chat about hi...

This episode was a little bit different from what we've done in previous episodes. When I started The Sane Asylum, the goal was to focus on mental health while touching on a variety of topics. This episode features Tim Patton, an IT Director fr...

Ian Thompson is one of the most consistently funny acts on the local scene and I would highly recommend going to see him as soon as you can! Rumour has it that when Ian started stand-up, he had a great head of hair, and every time he got a laug...

This episode is shorter than usual, because I'm an idiot and was recording to the wrong hard drive, but it's still a great episode and Shane is at the top of his game. One sold-out night at the SSE arena with a second night selling fast. If you...

This episode is pretty much just two comedians having a bit of a catch-up, but Jordan is one of the funniest comedians on the scene at the minute. 2020 was a tough year for most people, not only having to deal with all gigs being cancelled due ...

In the second episode of The Sane Asylum, Johnny Bow chats to Belfast born, London based comedian Vittorio Angelone. This was a great episode, Vittorio is not only a fantastic comedian, but has a great outlook on some of the more serious topics...
