is needed now More than ever
“Stuart Goldsmith’s infectious banter channels the effortless charisma and quick-fire timing honed over a youth misspent as a street-performer. He is simply brilliant with anecdotes galore displaying a wonderfully inventive, playful and deeply individual look at sexuality and relationships.
“In addition, his street performing skills give him a persona that is warm, engaging and entirely suited to his material. Expect a white-knuckle, high-octane meander through the worlds of sex, circus and subculture.
“In the comedy world Stuart Goldsmith is well known for his riveting interviews with comedians. Check out comedianscomedian.com for countless hours of intensive interrogation.

Jarlath Regan: “Award winning comedian, writer and star of the hit Irish panel show The Panel, Jarlath Regan has gained a reputation with the industry and audiences for his uplifting, inventive and relentlessly funny stand-up. He regularly gigs around the UK and performs at international comedy festivals.
“Since 2007 Jarlath has brought seven solo shows to the Edinburgh Fringe. Between enjoying sell-out runs and earning rave reviews, it’s easy to see why he has become a darling of the festival circuit. Jarlath’s numerous international comedy festival performances include appearances at The Montreal Just for Laughs Festival, The New Zealand Comedy Festival and the Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane festivals as a part of the Best of The Edinburgh Fest Showcase tours.
“Almost in the same vein as Stuart Goldsmith, Jarlath interviews Irish comedians and performers in the Irishman Abroad podcast.
