According to Shazam it's "Sunrise on Planet X" by cindroj

[Wayman C. McCreery]

i know he won the award and lots of people say he's good, but i'm surprised his tour is in demand. he's hardly a household name. is it the taskmaster effect?

There's that and the fact he's doing reasonably small rooms. The space he's in at the Salford Lowry only holds 150.

[phantom_power]

His support of Aunty Donna would have gained him some new fans as well

Thanks, Shazam failed to recognize it for me.

EDIT: ah. Sadly that's not it, your Shazam got it wrong.

My Shazam says it's something called "Afro Girl" by DJ D Money.

He's sold out the City Varieites in Leeds which is a respectable ~500. Second date on sale now.

Fair play. I expect some of the smaller venues might end up being upgraded anyway.

[Tiggles]

Salford sold out super-quick, I really hope he adds another date in the Manchester area. Mainly so I can go twice.

I think your Shazam may be having a stroke. Can you ask it if it can smell burning toast? Any numbness down the left side of its algorithm?

[Tiggles]

Charlie Pelling is credited as composer, so maybe it's an original piece? I just checked his website and he worked on Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (as well as a bunch of other stuff).

[edwardfog]

Apparently it's an original composition by a UK musician called Nicky Green

[edwardfog]

Looks like he also did some of the music for DHMIS and the fucking banging theme tune for Microscope among other things

[cacciaguida]

Saw him at the Bill Murray - genuinely sensational

Even better than Companion which I had seen on youtube and enjoyed greatly.

Perhaps it was because it was 11pm but the intimate audience was delirious with laughter if that's a thing

Might have been the most laughterful hour of stand-up I've ever seen

[edwardfog]

Sick. Imo Companion, as great as it is, is his worst show since he started coming to the UK

UPDATE/CORRECTION: it was Charlie Pelling after all! This intel in both its iterations brought to you direct by Henry Stone, who can procure the mp3 if anyone wants it

[TheDevilPuppet]

Just heard Alex Horne on the Geoff Lloyd & Sara Barron podcast say he has a part in Sam Campbell's pilot after someone else dropped out last minute.

[thatguyfromthatthing]

Henry Stone, who can procure the mp3 if anyone wants it

Consider me [any]one who wants it.

Sam Campbell's pilot

Fascinating news.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hrs already done a pilot (Comedy Blap) no?

[Captain Z]

Just spotted Sam during a rewatch of Stath Lets Flats, he has a small speaking part as one of the guests at Harriet (Charlotte Ritchie)'s hipster group therapy in S02E03.

[Tiggles]

Comedy Blaps felt more like a showreel than a pilot for a sketch show to me. Wonder if he's doing something with a story in it? Although it's probably best I don't try to guess what it is tbh, I've got no chance.

[SteveDave]

I saw this the other day out of the blue

Thanks algorithm

[Tiggles]

More Bill Murray WIP dates up.

[Tiggles]

London O2 Indigo now added on 15 March.

Can he procure one for me please? DMs are open, as the kids (used to?) say.

YES!

[Tiggles]

According to an IG story he's just posted, this is quite the line-up he's put together for Brooklyn on 30 Dec:

Sam Campbell, Aaron Chen, Tim Key, Sarah Squirm and Cat Cohen.

Tickets here for anyone lucky enough to be in the vicinity.

[edwardfog]

Yeah I don't think I've seen a stronger lineup in my life
