There are some more interesting characters within this, of course, and there are some moments of sacrifice and other things.
Ben ErringtonHOST
Andy Nyman, obviously.
Ben ErringtonHOST
Andy Nyman doing his typical...
Ben ErringtonHOST
I say typical, but he is damn good at it.
Andy Conduit-TurnerHOST
He's damn good at being a horrible middle manager.
Andy Conduit-TurnerHOST
I think the one thing to call out, we did hear some comments from some friends.
Andy Conduit-TurnerHOST
There are some moments where it's in service of the character, but there's some language that is used by being vague about it and making it sound even worse than it is.
Andy Conduit-TurnerHOST
There are some terms that are not widely accepted in terms of a person's mental capacity that are used like by Andy Nyman's character who's meant to be a bad bloke who we're meant to not like but I think some fair commentary made by a couple of our friends that were like well you don't need to use that kind of language to keep them in circulation to make your point that he's a bad bloke there's other ways that you can yeah i
JamieHOST
He also says, I got into magic again in 2009 after having a childhood obsession, but never really having got the right tricks.
JamieHOST
After seeing Andy Nyman's name on Derren Brown's credits, I then Googled his tricks and found Dead of Night.
JamieHOST
What followed was a hefty amount spent on magic and I haven't looked back.
JamieHOST
I mean, if there's anyone who's going to get you back into magic, Andy Nyman is a good way to go.
JamieHOST
He is, you know, someone who I've always admired and looked up to.
JamieHOST
I believe his DVD set, Get Nyman, is one of the best DVD sets ever created.
JamieHOST
Dice Man, The Hidden Killer Elite.
JamieHOST
Pro absolute heavy hitters.
Ben HanlinHOST
Or if you're a newish listener and you think, what should I go and listen to next? This is great because it will give you three little sizzles on who you might want to go and have a full listen to later on.
Ben HanlinHOST
So let's start with my first guest of this episode, the fantastic Andy Nyman.
Ben HanlinHOST
So Andy Nyman is an actor.
Ben HanlinHOST
He is a writer.
Ben HanlinHOST
And as a hobby, he's a magician and not just any magician.
Ben HanlinHOST
And then the way he brainstormed and turned essentially this brain dump of loads of ideas into a fully formed show.
Andy NymanGUEST
Anyway.
Ben HanlinHOST
it's really really good so um and obviously we talk a little bit about how we worked with darren brown as well so i think it's really great if you've ever wondered how an actor or successful actor and writer in theater and films really goes about their day-to-day business this episode is for you so without further ado oh oh sorry sorry one thing i did say um to give you context as well he's currently in the producers in the west end and we went to watch the show and then after the show go backstage and record in the theater late at night and they kept the theater open for us just for this recording so it's a real special energy and i'd love to do more of them actually where i go and watch somebody's thing they're in and then talk about it afterwards but anyway so this was live at the west end theater at late at night and it's me and andy nyman enjoy
