  • Sitcom writer and creativity expert Tim Reid uncovers top comedians' backstories by exploring their key "first times", the pivotal first steps in their lives, their careers and their creative process. Like the first time they realised they were funny, first gig, first time they died on their arse, first thing they do when they're struggling for ideas... There'll be surprising revelations, the odd embarrassing confession, and a load of top recommendations for how we can all be more creative. In Fist Of Firsts, Tim picks the brains of the nation's favourite comedians to find out how the people who think differently think, and to flush out the method in their madness.

    Edinburgh Festival Special
    Aug 23 2024
    Fist of First returns for a pre-Series 2 galavant to the Edinburgh Fringe. It’s Tim’s first time to the Festival and the law dictates that if you work in comedy, you MUST make a pilgrimage to the city. So join Tim as he takes in the festival for the first time and gives you his insights on what makes it so great. And if you’re headed there this weekend, there’s loads of recommendations for the best acts to see, the best venues to visit, and the best way to plan out your days so you can take in as much as possible. Expect comedy, expect bagpipes, and expect the inside scoop from the city’s taxi drivers, who have all the gossip on which comedians make the best and worst passengers. Fist of Firsts will return for Series 2 soon. In the meantime email fistoffirsts@gmail.com with your guest suggestions.
