1 week ago ‘A huge chunk of men don’t want a funny partner’: the podcast revealing the horrors of dating as a comedian

When Amy Gledhill and Harriet Kemsley both realised the other was newly unattached, the standups decided to create Single Ladies in Your Area, a hit podcast about divorces, dating and unwanted DMsA few months ago, comedians Amy Gledhill and Harriet Kemsley went speed dating. Tentatively hopeful and giddily anxious, they settled their nerves with a drink before arriving at the venue, a trendy south-east London pizzeria. In the event, any excitement was unwarranted: Kemsley “dissociated” and went quiet, while Gledhill found herself in “corporate team-building mode”, using humour to grease the wheels of other people’s dates while disengaging on a personal level. The men weren’t perfect, either: one avoided all eye contact; another recognised Gledhill – who has become a familiar face since winning last year’s Edinburgh fringe prize – and started doing her own material at her.

2 w. ago Sam Fender: People Watching review – a lonely yet brilliant document of fame

(Polydor)The North Shields singer-songwriter wrestles with how far life has propelled him away from his roots on his musically adventurous third albumOver two albums, Sam Fender has cast an increasingly astute eye over the working-class struggles of his native North Shields while wrangling with his own parallel narrative. But after his acclaimed 2019 debut, Hypersonic Missiles, and its hugely successful follow-up, Seventeen Going Under (2021), the 30-year-old clearly feels the weight of other people’s attention. On his troubled yet brilliant third album, People Watching, that shift hangs heavy.The lead-single title track is a natural continuation from the widescreen Springsteen-isms of Seventeen , on an adventurous record that takes in rootsy fingerpicking (Wild Long Lie) and a subversively breezy duet with singer Brooke Bentham (Arm’s Length). Lyrically, however, the sad yearning of the opener signposts the turmoil to come, whether it’s new parents back home who “can’t heat the pla...
