John Bishop on how comedy saved his marriage

[@RobBrydon]

Hi everyone! Thanks for coming back for Series 3. If you would like to hear the full interview, check it out free and exclusively on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4uuIZ7gjJTUkKxUTZeB2V1

[@scrambleddelusions]

I really enjoyed your full discussion with Bishop on Spotify. The only thing missing is your beautiful faces, but I'd rather listen than miss out on you and your guests. Cheers

[@stoker1931jane]

Just downloaded the free Spotify App on my smartphone... JUST...for Mister R. Brydon!! And listen to the whole interview - just wonderful👏🏻❤️. I'm I correct in thinking this is: the first and only (for now - till the next interview will be uploaded) "complete" interview on Mr. Brydon's Spotify Podcast list? 🤔

[@julieprior3126]

Simply delightful!

[@RhiannonLewis-cq2rs]

How on earth…🤦🏻‍♀️

[@CraigWeir-q5v]

What is interesting to me , he said he was 35 , I am 38 and it gives me NEW hope that life can open up new doors you dont expect

[@JohnArchbell]

Love John’s story of rekindling his relationship with Melanie his wife - and that it was the most important thing to come from the Open Mic session. He comes across as a lovely bloke. His fame is richly deserved. You’re not so bad yourself Rob!

[@aprilneilson6343]

Two really great men that I admire, not for their fame but for their innate goodness.

[@carollois]

Agreed. You don’t often hear men be vulnerable enough to say that they want to be friends. That’s really sweet.

[@milsub59]

You are so easily impressed ..."Great men" ....you are stupid beyond belief

[@Stantheman848]

John bishop is so naturally unfunny. He has stolen a career as a comedian.

[@TheHulksMistress]

@@milsub59 I bet you’d be fascinating to see up on stage in front of thousands of people

[@graciehughes4359]

That was a fabulous episode. John is so honest and engaging! Excellent job Rob for just letting John speak his truth.

[@Czechbound]

A lesson for us all : be vulnerable and try and change acquaintances into friends. I hope this friendship blossoms

[@DanRuns]

I love hearing John's story of the open mic. Take opportunities in front of you and just go for it! (and save £4)

[@ChrisPlow]

Two top blokes honest as the day is long. What a great story from John and massive congrats to him on saving his marriage and being bloody funny !

[@galewhiteman2047]

This chat made me cry. I didn’t know who John Bishop really was...I do now. What a wonderful story. I have always bragged that I saw Elvis July 1975. What a great concert. I grew up with his movies.

[@lizfuller400]

Just watched John Bishop and Sir Ian McKellan in Mother Goose at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield. Great fun for all ages, from children to senior citizens. As soon as John Bishop came on stage there was great applause and for Ian McKellen as well,there was such a warm feeling for both of them. Ian is a National Treasure and I think John is well on his way to becoming one. Love you both.

[@stanlibuda96]

Rob, you are one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. Personal, funny, sometimes even, ahem, wise ;)

[@RobBrydon]

Thanks Stan! - Alex, Channel Manager

[@mangomosaics]

Well there we are, John made me well up when he described his reconciliation with his wife Melanie. Thank you 🥰 Rob I'm binge watching/listening these interviews while I'm working. A pure delight. Thank you 🙏🏾🧡🙏🏾

[@danm3882]

I’m so glad this series is back! Hope Rob continues it after lockdown.

[@uptake2]

Every inch the guy I thought he was... Nice guy.. Lovely interview.

[@Michaellipmanactor]

I love your interviews Rob. You give the interviewee a chance to talk without trying to upstage them. I used to have Michael Parkinson on my list of people I’d love to be interviewed by and then Graham Norton. So if my acting career carries on the way it’s going then I’d be honoured to do a one to one with you one day! Congratulations on a very watchable series Rob.

[@RobBrydon]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series :) - Alex, Channel Manager

[@Michaellipmanactor]

@@RobBrydon My pleasure and I’m sure I will Alex.

[@CoLD.SToRAGE]

Is Alex really Rob? I only ask, because Rob has a history of pretending to be his own manager! 😝

[@Michaellipmanactor]

@@CoLD.SToRAGE I’m not too bothered. It’s just lovely to know that my compliments are acknowledged. Have a great night Sir.

[@manavsridharan3811]

Does KZbin not have a huge audience in Britain? Rob is pretty popular in Britain, from what I can see, but also at the same time this channel doesn't seem to have big numbers, like I assumed it would. Top class interviews with great people, what's not to love?

[@Deathlygunn]

To be fair I regularly watch Would I Lie to You, The Trip, and Gavin & Stacey clips on KZbin, and yet it's taken until today for Rob's channel to be recommended to me.

[@HOTD108_]

With all respect to Rob, I think his main audience might be a bit too old to be on KZbin.

[@manavsridharan3811]

@@HOTD108_ You know what, that does make sense. I discovered Rob through WILTY about 2 years ago, and hence I follow this channel and so on. But yeah the fans who usually attend his tours are probably a bit old by now.

Rob Brydon is such a nice bloke and the main reason I watch his interviews. He is so kind, considerate and funny at the same time. Think having a big family has been the making of him as a human being!

@@sandwichman100 Way to be a misogynist! It's not her. People like her. It's the writing that isn't up to par. Chibnall's writing doesn't even come close to the complexities of Moffat or the campy lunacy of Davies. If he didn't have such brilliant actors in Broadchurch, it would never have worked at all.

Hi Rob, I am really loving your channel. Please keep making more videos. They are hugely enjoyable and back in the day. Even today, I enjoyed your voice over work for the Discworld 1-3 games. That came out on the PlayStation. I think you even voiced the majority of the characters voices for Discworld Noir. Didn't you? It does sound like it, every time I play that particular game. You have a amazing gift, keep on sharing it to the KZbin community and beyond! :)
