Shane Todd
Hosted by Shane Todd
A Northern Irish comedian has casual, rambling chats with fellow comedians and personalities, heavy on local humour and personal anecdotes.
A very relaxed, conversational interview show driven entirely by the host's easy-going, self-deprecating humour. It feels less like a formal interview and more like eavesdropping on two or three friends catching up, with conversations frequently meandering through personal stories, observations about mundane life, and in-jokes from the UK and Irish comedy scene.
“Its primary distinction is its strong sense of place, deeply rooted in Northern Irish culture and the Belfast comedy scene. The extremely casual, almost anti-interview format stands out; rapport and comedic riffing are prioritized over probing questions or structured narratives.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Shane Todd's interview style is exceptionally casual and non-confrontational, functioning more as a facilitator of conversation than a traditional interviewer. He often opens with a self-deprecating question about his own appearance or a recent personal dilemma, immediately establishing a relaxed, peer-to-peer dynamic. He builds rapport by sharing his own stories and allowing guests to lead the conversation, riffing on their anecdotes rather than sticking to a prepared line of questioning. He frequently asks about guests' mundane personal habits, such as their TV-watching setup or eating routines on the road, using these small details to generate humor and relatable stories. There's no signature closing question; the show typically fades out as the conversation naturally winds down.
The format is a one-on-one or multi-guest interview, conducted as a highly informal, friendly chat. Shane Todd is a self-deprecating host who uses personal anecdotes to build rapport and often asks guests for their opinions on his own life. He refers to his audience as 'Sippers' and frequently promotes his Patreon, which offers bonus content like ad-free episodes and live shows.
