Ask The Industry Podcast

Adam Larter (@lartymcparty) founded the Weirdos comedy club (@weirdoscomedy) in 2010. Not a traditional club, it's actually a revolving line up of comedians who act out shows, sketches and plays which he writers as well as a comedy night and a yearly panto. I got him on the podcast to talk about - What does “alternative comedy” mean to him?
