Brydon & Nina Conti: “I learnt some weird stuff”

[@DanielWright-np3fq]

I am head over heels in love with Nina, but I want to give some love for Rob Brydon, arguably one of the Great Interviewers. Interesting, engaged and hilarious. Fantastic episode.

[@alexmousley7213]

I saw her first! I know what you mean, she is adorable and ridiculously talented, Rob is also incredibly talented and his interviewing skills really bring out the best in his interviewees.

[@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg]

I love the bit where Nina Conti is genuinely amazed and eager to learn. Not just because it means Nina is always eager to learn, but because imagine having Nina looking to learn from you.

[@brianmyers4444]

There is nothing I want more in life than to see Nina in person…..astounding…..

[@avi8r66]

Nina is fantastic. So glad Monkey recruited her for his act.

[@andrewrussell4707]

Perhaps the most talented woman in Britain. She is so good, I would like to claim she is Scottish, but since she was born in Hampstead I can’t. A wonderful talent, we are lucky to have her.

[@arthurgordon6072]

Of course you can. Cliff Richard was born in India, he's still English! She has Scottish parents, therefore, she is a Scot.

[@andrewrussell4707]

@@arthurgordon6072 No, utterly wrong. She is English with a Scottish father. (I can’t comment on the Indian connection to CR)

[@arthurgordon6072]

@@andrewrussell4707 Wrong, her mother is a Scot also! This makes her a Scot.

[@simonwild428]

But Conti is an Italian name…..

[@johngalvin3124]

Well, she is Scottish through a friend of her mothers...

[@TJMack-]

Probably the best yet. These two could play off each other for hours.

[@martinlawrence8427]

Great interview. Nina is so humble, and yet so brilliant and hilarious!

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

The small man trapped in the box is always hilarious.

[@danieladams9950]

Never heard Rob do that voice before.

[@RageInEden]

@@danieladams9950 You need to watch The Trip.

[@thechosenwon6762]

Her vibration is amazing you couldn't not enjoy her company plus she's so funny

[@DrLogical987]

Thanks for the interview. Nina just seems so clever and quick thinking in her performance... Formidabel and funny

[@SteveMikre44]

Love to see Nina Conti on TaskMaster...

[@simonwild428]

There are a lot of us out here who feel that…personally I would prefer without Monkey…

[@leahandriley]

Nina is our favourite person in all the world ❤

[@cholomondeleybiscuitt]

Off to see Nina’s show at Edinburgh Fringe the day after tomorrow; am really looking forward to it! 😊

[@Tao_Tology]

One of the best things I have ever seen her create was a series of short videos where she goes to therapy.........and, of course, it all unravels. I say 'best' because I am convinced that there are points during the series where she genuinely does not how unhinged she is going to go.

[@jamesfield1674]

I have been binge watching and listening to his podcasts such a lovely bloke

[@garybrindle6715]

As refreshing as a crunchy choc coated ice lolly, thank you both for a peep behind the showbiz curtains............

[@annala2956]

I love that Nina mentioned the ventriloquist class telling her to do the voice by tensing like she's lifting a weight. I was deadlifting one day and counting my reps and accidentally did "small man in a box" voice. I couldn't reproduce it without the weight though.

[@SongBillong]

What a class act she is! Loved this!

[@drumstick74]

Nina was great in *Black Books* SE02 EP01 Rob: That Billy Connolly in the box at 15:00 was _epic_ 😂

[@tanis3639]

Love Nina's work and along with Ken Campbell... Both genius in their own 'fields'. Amazing! What a wonderful interview!

[@gabrielhubby9966]

I mean seriously , could Rob be any more in love with her 😍

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

Two fantastic people. Really good to see them together chatting about their journey. Thank you for sharing this with us all.

[@curmudgeon1933]

Nina has such a beautiful voice.

[@rpc2210]

Some of my two favourite people (Nina and Monkey, I mean). ❤

[@catbhoy]

Of course 😂😂😂😂

[@WagnerGimenes]

Superb entertainers, both of them.

[@bluefunkdawg]

What a glorious person! Not aware of her before. btw always enjoy these pods.

[@rad6666]

Brilliant, Nina is genius.

[@5quareson]

I assume a interview with Monkey by himself will soon follow

[@evanhadkins5532]

The (it looks like) semi-improvised piece with Monkey and the psychiatrist is just fantastic.

[@Tao_Tology]

1000%

[@pangit9999]

Love Nina Conti, I had no idea she was Tom Contis daughter!

[@magillanz]

Of course his ventriloquism suggestion was one his greatest pranks.

[@NonHalalBacon]

So gorgeous ❤

[@christopherhill1652]

He actually made her blush at one point. 🙂

[@FolkinghamRob]

Nina is brilliant

[@catbhoy]

Great interview one of the best Nina is a seriously talented women, so smart.

[@geoffproudley6626]

Fantastic interview! Two of my favourite people. Nina and monkey have lightened my days a lot recently. Great to hear about the beginnings of the act and it's progression. Thanks Rob! And get that Mr Coogan to agree to another The Trip (please) :) :)

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

Bravo, Nina!

[@TheBigRedSharkable]

I love this so much, what a joy !

[@JamsODonnell100]

Re Jim Carrie - isn’t that quantum physics (not just pure nonsense) ???? 🤔 Good interview (cheers Rob) and Nina is such a joy. Very, very, very funny ❤

[@ChrisFashLa]

Who's Jim Carrie?

[@nbell63]

And welcome to the Brydon Weekend Workshop with this Saturday's guest tutor: Nina Conti. (if you could pay at the table as you enter, biscuits & beverages available at intermission) Moments of theatrical ptsd. I did my physical theatre training with Ira Seidenstein, an American Paris-trained acrobat and clown mostly based in Australia. And for all the things I have ever done, I don't believe I have ever worked harder than Ira's workshopped "Pericles", for the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble. Wonder and terror in equal measure. ❤

[@celtphoto]

Nina, You are amazing !

[@PeteAnda]

Nina is brilliant and humble but mainly brilliant.

[@tonyqwizzer8279]

'serious clowning' is that an oxymoron?

Most definitely not. Read up on clowning a bit

[@catannea]

Very very enjoyable...BUT...do I understand that there is a "longer version" of the "podcast""? I have learnt that I cannot "listen" to things I can't see. Or at least not very well. Why on earth arn't there "talking heads" for all podcasts? Not enough bandwidth in the universe?

[@Tao_Tology]

The world is not going to provide you with visual-stimulus-for-everything-I-listen-to

[@colinwhite5355]

The stuff Nina Conti does with the masks is okay and clever, but isn’t the monkey business more revealing/intriguing and, of course, funny/edgy/new. Then there’s Adam Mediggo. Outstanding. Best of all, the daft stuff, with Minnow and Monkey. Having a bad day? just reach out for that and the sun will come out.

[@largedoglover99]

Why have a guest when all Rob wants to do is talk about himself? Why do you talk show people do this? They have on guests that they talk over and talk about themselves. Just have the Rob Brydon show and be yourself and talk only about yourself.

[@jameswalker3484]

Nina is always honest, she was lovely. This was not a comfortable chat. I cringed. Rob there was no warmth, it looked awkward and set up. The insincerity is there and obvious to see. You are better with your friends. Not your best post Rob.

[@deeryker]

[@timwilks666]

The one interview where Rob can legitimately show off in front of his guest.
