Jules O’Brian

Death, Grief, Dating and Comedy

Jules chats with her friend Laura about the trauma and effects of grief, and how it affects every part of life. They also fall into talking about dating and comedy. They laugh lots at an eclectic mix of content, but that's the point: there are some things that can't be compartmentalised. And if you don't laugh...

Sarah Riches

Sarah Riches is a UK country singer who recently recorded her album, "I Don't Give Up Easily" in Nashville. Like Jules, she went into "showbiz" as a (ahem) slightly older lady. They chat about this, whether age makes any difference, and Jules' absolute envy of Sarah's Nashville adventure!

Avoid Excessive Cleavage (and Other Advice to Ignore) from the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival June 2026

Episode 25: "Someone Will Always Be Younger..." Thanks - that really helps!

Jules muses unhelpful advice, Gwyneth's side-bum dress, The Truth About Ruby Cooper, and other people's noisy hotel "shenanigans."

Episode 24: Rejection, MAFS, Spitting in Coffee, and Comedy on the Radio

Episode 23: Show Success, Accepting 54, and Entering Elizabeth Hurley's Orbit

After a couple of months' hiatus, Jules is back! (Only for 11 minutes, but it still counts!) She muses her Leicester Comedy Festival terror and success, preparing for her first Edinburgh, accepting 54, and entering her idol's orbit.

Episode 22: "Take Risks - Life's too short and happiness is too rare." Hmmm...

Jules muses Brum Comedy Festival, a MAFS application, supporting Hal Cruttenden, Ben Elton nostalgia, and being heckled to "free Diddy!"

Episode 21: Still Showing Up

Jules muses the frustrations of always being the bridesmaid but never the bride, Bonnie Blue, and showing up even when you're really not feeling it.

Episode 20: Internet Trolls - Seriously Guys, Give Your (Ugly) Heads a Wobble

Jules is cat-sitting so has way too much time on her hands to muse brilliant women in the public eye, and why they make so many losers so angry, no matter what they do.

Episode 19: “Do What You Love and You’ll Never Work a Day in Your Life” Yeah, right!

Jules muses pulled gigs, CMAT, difficult goodbyes, and sacking off competitions.
