How many times do people have to ask about the whole thing being on video and what's happening with that considering these clips before someone actually answers?

[@GrahamsYouTube]

Kerrys acting is on another level, she deserves all the success

[@stevolution666]

Very understated too, She has that comic timing and emotional intelligence that allow her to hit the beats in a serious moment

[@heartshapedisle]

Kerry in Afterlife is perfect. She hits every moment with gentle empathy. And she's genuine funny 😄 because she's real. Love from Tasmania Kerry....bosh 💪

[@TREVONBACH]

AMERICAN... knew nothing about any of you till acaster... followed from netflix to "best bits from taskmaster"...and panel shows on youtube opened my eyes and taskmaster introduced to godliman. so gorgeous and simply funny. TY James Acaster for the introduction to the entire cast of british panel shows. but sean lock, what a goddarned master. would have loved him on taskmaster. but godliman, so funny. looking forward mr brydon, thank you for your comedy. the wilty stuff i am STILL finding new bits i missed. mitchell, mack, brydon, carr... yall made this pandemic hilarious. and helped in the loss of my mother currently. Thanks to all who perform comedy in all forms. Comedy cures depression, well, for the moment.

[@Isleofskye]

Very well said,my friend. From South East London...

[@infinity1323]

I absolutely adore Kerry Godliman.

[@Elwaves2925]

I really want Rob on Taskmaster. It'd be really interesting to see how he'd handle it all. Kerry was excellent on it and I love her stand up. She's such a bundle of joy with a fantastic laugh.

[@kassistwisted]

I bet he'd read every task in a different famous actor's voice. It would be epic.

[@thegreatsalad]

@@kassistwisted Lol I hope he sees this comment 😆

[@kassistwisted]

Kerry is so awesome and so funny and so real. I will gladly watch anything she's in. I wish her comedy tour would come to Europe.

[@paulinemably9572]

YES!!!!! I really want her to come to Bratislava or Vienna. Sarah Milican came and it was just brilliant and Kerri would be great too.

[@Rjhs001]

Even slightly disheveled, she's absolutely fabulous.

[@sfshinz]

The Queen of Bosh.

[@LUFC123]

I love Kerry. Brilliant on Derek and obviously After Life . I also really liked her in Bad Move, I don't know why that got cancelled

[@BlueBarchetta67]

Kerry is an amazing actress/actor, I forget that it's Kerry acting when watching her roles, she's so good. Heart and soul into every part she plays.

[@stef2282]

just watched Kerry on live at the apollo on gold, had me in stitches!!!! One of the best female standups ive ever seen on live at the apollo

[@drizer4real]

Such a lovely woman ❤️ great actrice and comediene!

[@ArtbyJoeH]

Brilliantly empathic in Derek

[@mardyjane7664]

Love Kerry! Nice interview :) Bosh 💪

[@layalabi1667]

Really lovely! Thank you!!!

[@EricaGamet]

So excited to hear that Trigger Point is coming back... I loved her character in it (and the show in general).

[@julianlineham]

Another fabulous interview

[@peavette]

Kerry is so adorable! Great interview!

[@nbell63]

Another "Pearl" - Yay!! another lovely chat, of course, but I can't remember anything else now! 🥰

[@guyhartney5786]

Love your work , love from Australia Rob

[@bacup27]

I adore Kerry

[@emjones55343]

I much prefer the at home interviews online to the in person studio interviews. I think the guests are more relaxed when they are in their own homes, I also think Rob is more relaxed!

[@erlenD9393]

Greetings from Norway! Love you both! :D

[@MartinMcMartin]

With the best laugh ever, from Afterlife

[@herseem]

She's talking about the Jill Edwards course that I also did, although I didn't finish the advanced course. It is a really good course although you have to go to Brighton to do it now. I think Jimmy Carr also did the same course and he rated it highly too.

[@shirleyn546]

Kerry was fantastic in Derek, and Afterlife of course, and Bad Move

[@Robil63]

Yes Rob. Do a "Trip" with Coogan, Down Undah!! Great Aussie accent!

[@chrisparti]

I absolutely loved both character Kerry played in Derek, and After Life, she was so perfect in both roles, I fell in love with her...

[@EdDevereaux]

One of the few reasons to subscribe to Acorn. Love this lady.

[@kenaustinardenol1338]

Nice to get a second season of Whitstable Pearl, liked that show very much espacially because of Kerry

[@toddoframsgate1393]

Kerry. ♥️

[@kathrynmount5625]

Thanks

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

Loved her on Taskmaster. Based on that, it’s fitting that the video quality on her side is Bosch.

[@yesdcotchin]

And now, in the very next podcast, Stewart Lee's come along and inadvertently shat on Kerry's choice to work on Derek and After Life

[@jakeriese4862]

Nice

[@cwmdu86]

Can't imagine anyone else playing her part in After Life or Derek.

[@jeee6835]

Brydons impression of jimmy tarbuck sounded more jimmy saville lol

[@JisooKim-wo3if]

How am I only finding this now?

[@Mark_Brooks]

Because it was released only today?

"I'm doing Jimmy Tarbuck."

Mr Brydon......WEAR A SLEEVED vest. Levi do nice v necked ones. They call them v necked t shirts. They are about £20 on Amazon.

Thank gawd he got her to move away from the backlight!

BOSH

The profession of storyteller is not a frivolous one. And, it's denigration is simply a hangover from church doctrinaire. "We're all stories in the end, just make it a good one, eh?"

[@uncledmsr]

I’ve never wanted to be a denim shirt before

[@chenks76]

Jimmy Tarbuck sounds suspiciously like Jimmy Savile......

[@tonynorman6814]

That's a disgusting suggestion. Shame on you Simon!

[@chenks76]

@@tonynorman6814 disgusting? Have a word with yourself. It’s an observation, and the impersonation he does clearly has similarities to said person, and sounds nothing like jimmy tarbuck. Stop with the mock outrage

[@MrUmandMrEr]

Not quite up to his Ronnie Corbett… I think Rob may have done it deliberately. Promo for his pal Steve. 🤣

[@Isleofskye]

A Woman ONLY 20 minutes late? Result! I wish I had a £1 over my 68 London years for every Woman telling me "I am running late" :)

[@barnstar2077]

I would have closed the curtains so people could see me, but hey ho.

[@janebrown896]

But that's endearing!

[@hensonlaura]

Really John, control yourself.

[@annala2956]

She is delightful! She's been in 3 seasons and her character has been dead the whole time. Ricky has done some great stuff, I just wish he wouldn't kick down at the trans community. Be better, Ricky. You're too smart to be so thoughtless.

[@corncob2183]

Ricky was not kicking down at trans people he was simply telling the truth which is not allowed these days. But that will change when the lies overwhelm us and we go back to being normal humans again.

[@martinwilliams2556]

I think he's a breath of fresh air in this current climate of stupid people claiming stupid things.

[@bristolspotlight6387]

YAWN! (Just saying)
