A random interview with random questions, chosen by the spin of the wheel!
24 questions, (one per each section on the wheel) focussing on everything or maybe nothing from any person’s life, loves and livelihood.

We’ll have a chat and spin the wheel a few times – (one of those may well be rigged if there’s a question I REALLY want my guest to answer) – and then see whereabouts that chat might take us.

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #13 - Tandy Houghton - Eastbourne's Comedy Writing Supremo

    A while ago I bought a spinner wheel from IKEA because… well, why wouldn’t you?

    I haven’t really found a proper use for it until now.  So here it is…The Spin The Wheel Podcast with The Edi Johnston Bit   

    Episode #13 is with Tandy Houghton - who is a Comedy performer and writer and Podcaster (No - Vodcaster!) from Eastbourne via Colombia and a bunch of other places too!  She is such a lovely and constructive person who has been very helpful as part of the Super God Comedy Squad to me personally writing various bits and honing them. She tells amazing ridiculous stories like hanging around near the Asylum and the time her Mum did terribly with her homework...

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #12 - Jesse Quin - Keane Bass Player

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #12 - Jesse Quin - Keane Bass Player

    A while ago I bought a spinner wheel from IKEA because… well, why wouldn’t you?I haven’t really found a proper use for it until now.  
    So here it is…The Spin The Wheel Podcast with The Edi Johnston Bit   

    Episode #12 is with Jesse Quin - who is someone you've probably not heard of...but you'll know the band. He's a member of Keane with hits like "Somewhere Only We Know" "Everybody's Changing" "This Is The Last Time" and so so many others! As part of a band who have sold over 13 million albums worldwide I thought the best thing to do was to ask him what his favourite Roast was?!  

    He is a great guy and a lovely feller to chat to. Jesse and I spoke for ages and so the editing process was rather long!! We talked about what he's been upto during lockdown, where he'd like to go back to, where he goes to relax, and his preferred washing processes!!

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #11 - Ian Peskett - Nottingham Comedy Flamethrower!!

    A while ago I bought a spinner wheel from IKEA because… well, why wouldn’t you?
    I haven’t really found a proper use for it until now.  So here it is…The Spin The Wheel Podcast with The Edi Johnston Bit   

    Episode #11 is with Ian Peskett - someone you've probably never heard of, but someone who is incredibly talented, incredibly genuine, and with a life story of renewal and recovery which he is very open about sharing both in his standup routines and also in this podcast!   
    He is an excellent comedy writer as anyone who has seen his stand up gigs will attest to, and he puts his jokes across with a focus and assured delivery which has left me creased up laughing more times than I'd care to remember. 

    We talk about his admiration for American comedy legend Doug Stanhope, his lack of transport, his travels down south and the reasons behind them as well as trying to understand his fondness for Happy Hardcore music!

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #10 - Sam Serrano - Liverpool's Rising Young Comedy Star!

    A while ago I bought a spinner wheel from IKEA because… well, why wouldn’t you?

    I haven’t really found a proper use for it until now.  
    So here it is…The Spin The Wheel Podcast with The Edi Johnston Bit   

    Episode #10 is with a young man who I have watched lots online, and gigged with just the once, but despite his young age he's an absolute rockstar - Sam Serrano. Sam has already been gigging for 7/8 years but is only just 21! He is a gender fluid comedian who uses his upbringing and its trials and tribulations along with a razor sharp wit to kill stages up and down the country.  

    Sam is a wonderful young man who alongside his comedy is training to become a teacher (which you would never guess if you saw him perform!!) and tells stories of his life chasing gigs, chasing his idols, and chasing diabetes by the looks of things! We had a lovely chat and he's such an engaging and lovely guy with a real ambition to become a role model for others like he was as a young lad. If you like his stuff - he's deffo worth finding on YouTube because his blogs are brilliant!!

    Spin The Wheel Podcast #09 - Ben Mark Smith - Notts Acoustic Troubadour

    A while ago I bought a spinner wheel from IKEA because… well, why wouldn’t you?I haven’t really found a proper use for it until now.  

    So here it is…The Spin The Wheel Podcast with The Edi Johnston Bit   

    Episode #09 is with a young man who seems older than he actually is! Ben Mark Smith has been a regular on the Nottingham Open Mic and gig scene for the past few years and plays great acoustic songs which crowds have gotten used to singing along with. He's a lovely guy and a good promoter too, putting on shows in and around Nottingham as well as being one of the organisers of the D.H Lawrence Festival in Eastwood.  

    Ben sings really popular covers sets which folks seem to like singing along with but writes his own songs, and has been busy during Lockdown putting together his debut album, produced by Ben Marshall (Fine Art Society) with his new band - The Balancing Acts. He is a varied and interesting songwriter with songs that tell stories and tales of our modern society. With a following within Nottingham of both punters and performers, he always has good audiences and puts on great gigs throughout the town.

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #08 - Paul Savage - Stand Up Stalwart & Comic Strip Creator

    Spin the Wheel Podcast #08 - Paul Savage - Stand Up Stalwart & Comic Strip Creator

    A while ago I bought a spinner wheel from IKEA because… well, why wouldn’t you?

    I haven’t really found a proper use for it until now.  So here it is…The Spin The Wheel Podcast with The Edi Johnston Bit   

    Episode #08 is with a guy that I've known as an acquaintance for some time, but only recently got to know - Paul Savage. 

    Paul is a Stand Up Comedian who has had an interesting and erratic past but manages to put all his life experiences into use when writing jokes for himself and for others to bring onto a stage. Paul is a comic artist too and has put together cartoons for a book (But Doctor, I am a Collection of Comic Strips by Paul Savage) as well as putting them out on his socials.   

    Paul and I chat about many things which didn't make the edit, alongside these ones that did! - his fave roast and birthday, as well as how he got into Comedy and what music to play to a 4 year old to get them hyper before giving them back to their parents!

TandyLion ,

Edi should be on prime time.

Edi is not only a great performer and song writer, but a wonderful chat host. Someone give him a big job for a big boy.
