A livestreamed recording in which Liam & Ben chat about their comedy inspirations from childhood to modern acts that inspire them. They finish by writing a few jokes and have a big old argument about semantics.
Embedded above we have the podcast version, and below we have the original, unedited video version, which is longer and, arguably, more visually compelling. Feel free to find The Conversation Hat on YouTube - if subscribe and hit the bell icon you’ll get notified whenever we next go live.
SHOW NOTES
Here’s a few sketches referenced in the show, starting with the cameraman who notices Rik Mayall in the audience.
Mayall was one of Ben’s biggest influences, which you may have noticed yourself.
Here’s a more recent inspiration of Liam’s - a pretty accurate representation of Tim & Eric, Awesome Show, Great Job
HOW TO SUPPORT THE SHOW
Our plan is that this show will always be available for free, but super fans are encouraged to support The Conversation Hat via Patreon. We ask listeners to consider how much they pay for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc, and apply the same logic to our show - do you feel our show is worth $1 a month? $5? $50? Whatever you think is right! Also there’s loads of cool stuff you can only get here: www.patreon.com/conversationhat
If patronage isn't your thing, then maybe this is for you: Super Loot want to deliver a box of nerdy merch and geek chic to your doorstep each month, and will do so for £19.99, (you can get your first one for £15!) Take a look, right flippin' now. Please. www.superloot.co.uk/ConversationHat
Or, if you'd like to support the show without spending any money, (which is fine by the way, I suppose), there are a few ways you can do that: feel free to follow us on Twitter and retweet anything you see us post; like us on Facebook and hit as many thumbs-up icons as you possibly can; Follow Odd Creative on YouTube, where you can watch some Conversation Hat videos and leave some nice comments too; leaving us a positive review on whatever listening platform you use is also massively helpful, especially so on iTunes.
