このコンテンツについて

 Presented by comedian and comedy researcher Jim Judges this podcast will focus on stand-up character comedy. We’ll be meeting and hearing from a whole host of comedians about their work and finding out about their background, how they got started, their on-stage experiences, their writing process and their motivations for what they do. Along the way we will also consider some of the differences and similarities between regular more authentic stand-up and the amazing funny fictional world of character comedy.Jim Judges

    Alexis Dubus: Marcel Lucont and more!
    2025/11/04

    Jim Judges chats with comedian and actor Alexis Dubus, the sharp mind behind the suave, sardonic and very popular comedy character Marcel Lucont. They talk costume, attitude, material and the comic power of silence, with a nod to the cult classic poem “Wine in a Can".

    Plus, there’s a glimpse of his other creation, writer, philosopher and delightfully absurd Charles Quarterman.

    Vous êtes très welcome – enjoy!

    In this episode of The Character of Comedy, comedian and comedy researcher Jim Judges talks to actor and comedian Casey Filips, the man behind Tobias Finlay-Fraser, a gloriously pompous British actor who claims to be “the greatest of his generation”.


    Casey explains how the character emerged from a real-life meltdown at Philippe Gaulier’s clown school, and how it evolved into a show packed with satire, clowning, and improvised chaos. Jim and Casey explore the influences behind the act, from Bean to Baron Cohen, and discuss what makes Tobias both ridiculous and oddly relatable.


    We also hear about Casey’s hit solo show Virtuoso, fresh from rave reviews at the Adelaide and Melbourne Fringe, and now heading to the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.
