Nick Helm

Uh, because by today's standards, unfortunately, that scene is quite out there humor.

What's weird about this example is that those sketches in particular, whether you're talking about the kind of historical reenactment society or David Mitchell and his Nick Helm, both of them are explicitly ... pointing fun at racism.

Yeah

Or certainly about the kind of liberal nervousness around questions of race and identity.

Next week, we're discussing Friday the 13th, part six.

with special guest Nick Helm and Aaron Truss from Employee of the Dead.

Looking forward to that.

What a lovely way to wrap up September before a spooky season officially starts in October.

I tried all the soup and pills and stuff, but they just made me drowsy.

I used to do a live podcast with Nick Helm.

And I used to take, I took quite like a low dojo sleeping pill and it did knock me out for the night.

But the next day, I actually don't remember doing the live podcast.

Yeah.

But I was, just before we do that, my son was saying the other day, how do you get this joke to work? Nick was around, Nick Helm, It was round.

Everyone

pointed me then like I don't know what I'm doing.

Nick Helm was round to my house and we...

Oh, you got a house? Oh, no.

He was...

Yeah, fucking hell.

She was a senior comedian, which wonderful Lucy Porter.

Nick Helm, Josh Widdicombe, James Adomian, John Daly, I think it was then.

He might've been Billy Butcher or whatever.

Definitely one of them in one of those two names.

Yeah.

And then the other thing, another indie project, it's Employee of the Dead, a feature-length comedy horror from director Aaron Truss, now starring Nick Helm.

Can you believe it? Guess what? Brand new news that we can announce.

Hot off the press, Andy.

Nick Helm and Aaron Truss are joining us for an episode at the end of the month.

They are, aren't they? Nick and

Aaron joining us to discuss Friday the 13th, part

six, Jason Lives.

I think people know.

Nick Helm and I used to do a radio show podcast, and we're doing another one.

Oh.

We're doing another one.

What's another

series? Nick Helm.

Yeah, the Nick Helm series, Uncle.

If we can get three of those in, that'd be nice.

Yeah, okay.

Yes.

Nick Helm, One Man Megavith, Sean Walsh, The Lie in King.

Strong, strong, strong, strong, strong, strong.

So I was at Edinburgh this next year, 2012.

We hope to see you at a show soon.

Timo, any other business?

If you're listening to this on day of release, Nick Helm is doing a preview with us tonight, a work in progress at eight o'clock at the Tommy Field.

He is someone who really, he puts everything into these shows and he is such a joy to watch.

And for anyone who's backed us so far, you're going to get a free perk.

Plus the bundles are better and there's more Nick Helm perks as well because he's obviously new to the project and we want to share him around with everyone.

Oh

my God.

So since we've spoken to you, the announcement of Nick Helm has happened.

So we haven't had a chance to speak to you guys about it.

Absolutely.

And I was right.
