Stuart Goldsmith’s The Comedian’s Comedian podcast is “absolutely riveting” (Guardian) and “recommended” listening (Ricky Gervais). The show has steadily become a force in the UK, attracting a who’s who of British comedy. His genuine curiosity about a comedian’s path and motivations prompts revelations that are a treat for any comedian or comedy fan.

Stuart sits down with Emmy winner, comedian, writer, director, multi-hyphenate Scott Aukerman. Aukerman is a defining figure in both podcasting and the “alt-comedy” movement, fostering one of the most influential comedy scenes of our generation. Aukerman’s curatorial genius laid the foundation for what became SXSW Comedy. We’re proud to have this long-time festival pillar back on the Esther’s Follies stage for one more go-around.
