The Wandering Barman

Lifting Yer Spirits - LIVE - with Jonathan O’Reilly

www.comedianchrisdavis.com

 

Lifting Yer Spirits was filmed in front of a live audience as part of the PodFest 2022 held in Berlin in July 2022. 

 

A podcast! Not about the what and the why - but the who. What is your story? Where are you from? And what makes you YOU! I make you a cocktail and then I want to know about YOU! So join us as we talk to our guest of the hour Mr Jonathan O'Reilly

 

I tell you about the intricacies of the most classic cocktail of them all 'the sour' before talking to my friend, and Crazy Bastard Sauce creator, Jonathan O'Reilly. 

 

We talk about our busking days, Hot Sauce, what humour is and we even break out one of our old songs from back in the day.

Lifting Yer Spirits with Craig Walker (The Cold + Craig Walker, Power of Dreams, Archive)

#powerofdreams #archive #thecoldandcraigwalker #craigwalker #liftingyerspirits #podcasting #comedianchrisdavis #thewaderingbarman

I make the wonderful Craig Walker of Power of Dreams, Archive and The Cold + Craig Walker a Gin Fizz. We dive into the ins and outs of big time stadium gigs, to smaller room gigs. We discuss a lot about collaboration versus the hermit nature of writing and performing solo. We also delve a little into what it is like to keep an audience entertained for an hour doing stand-up comedy. Oh, and Bowie! Lots of Bowie!

Lifting Yer Spirits ft. Simone Hudson (Nutritionist & Comedian)

I make my guest a non-alcoholic cocktail: The Gimlet.

Alcohol free Gin, Lime Juice, Sugar, Orange Bitters (sneaky bit), Stirred over ice

This week I have one of my best pals Simone Hudson. She is the best cook/chef I know, a great comedian, an 'olympic' rower, and knows a lot about nutrition and what foods are good for the body and mind.

We discuss those infamous supperclubs of ours, her time growing up in New Zealand, the fact she is about to pop out a human being, and most importantly, she goes throw my fridge, cupboards and freezer and quite rightly judges me and my diet. Enjoy it and SUBSCRIBE for more podcasts :-)

Lifting Yer Spirits ft. Mark Reeder (MSF Label, B-Movie: Lust & Sound, Die Unbekannten)

#joydivision #neworder #happymondays #factoryrecords #dieunbekannten #markreeder #dietotenhosen #berlintrance #berlintechno

Mark Reeder first came to Berlin in 1978 as Factory Records' (Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays) German ambassador. In the 80's he smuggled the cassettes of punk bands from the West into East Berlin consequently creating, somewhat modestly might say, a scene. He then smuggled bands themselves, such as Die Toten Hosen and Die Ärtzte into the East to give this scene and extra 'oomph' of awareness and success.

He was able to get his friends, Joy Division, their only ever gig in Berlin, toured, and still does tour, with New Order, formed his own band Die Unbekannten, was a sound engineer for several other infamous bands, and, from 1990 - 2008, formed the ever successful music label MFS. Masterminded For Success are responsible for the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Harald Blüchel, Johnny Klimik and Ellen Alien. He then reactivated the label in 2018 to release the band STOLEN.

One of his latest ventures was B-Movie: Lust and Sound in Berlin. A documentary viewed from the perspective of Reeder himself about the music scene in Berlin between '79-'89.

Mark still lives in Berlin, Kreuzberg staying true to his Berliner routes. He continues to produce and remix trance & techno, tours the world with B-Movie, manages his label MFS, and, on a rainy, dark and cloudy day in Berlin, was kind enough to share his life story over a cup of tea, with me, The Wandering Barman.

Apologies first of all that the intro was somehow lost, so for the first minute or so it is just some quiet upbeat music - also nice :-)

I have the wonderful Anna Beros this week on Lifting Yer Spirits. We discuss swearing, being born a Kiwi but raised in Australia, body image as a female youth, meditation, fitness and the secret of comedy. I also make her a great cocktail called The Lions Tale. Make it with me!!!

Mental Health Awareness Week -Dimming The Light Ep. 10

#mentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthpodcast #podcast

As it is mental health awareness week the mental health podcast Dimming The Light seems even more relevant than ever. It is also Episode number 10 - so we are celebrating our 10th anniversary.

In this episode I remind you to ask people how they are, and to be careful to what you ingest in your first hour of waking up. I discuss why its not always easy to live 'in the moment', and, is your mental state a tidal ocean or a stagnant rancid pond?

If you would like to see & hear more things, head over to http://www.buymeacoff.ee/thewb where you can support me and my thoughts and ideas.

Welcome to the comedy and cocktail podcast where I'm joined this time with Noah Telson. He is an avid improvisor and owns his own comedy club in the heart of Berlin - Comedy Cafe Berlin. We've known each other for a decade and we talk about how we met at improv class, his new born baby, what it's like owning a comedy club, and we get deep into the human psyche and ask, what does it all mean?

Welcome to the comedy & cocktail podcast where I speak with Johnny Tiernan, the legendary DJ, Berlin's in-the-know dude and creator of the infamous LOLA Magazine.

Dimming The Light ft. Chris Davis Ep.9

#mentalhealth #pandemichealth #mentalstressrelief #selfreflection #mcdonalds #liveperformance #opera #thewanderingbarman #dimminghthelight

This is my little mental health podcast where I talk to the sky for 30-40 minutes about the trials and tribulations of being down - without getting YOU down. It's a thing :-)

This time an exercise on self-reflection, Covid shame at McDonalds (when will it be normal shame again?) and experiencing live performance for the first time in a year - it was dramatically moving to say the least.

Lifting Yer Spirits ft. Caroline Clifford (Comedian & Teacher of Comedy)

The cocktail & comedy podcast this week is with the wonderful Caroline Clifford. A staple of the English speaking comedy scene in Berlin, she helped build and strengthen it with the longest running open mic We Are Not Gemused - https://www.facebook.com/gemused.

I make her a classic New Orleans cocktail, the Veux Carre, as we discuss our stints at the Edinburgh fringe festival, what it's like to teach comedy, the transition from stand-up comedy to improvisation, and that time she lived with me for a week back in Scotland.

Deep Dive to the Veux Carre -
