    Joe Sutherland
    Jul 10 2026

    Joe Sutherland is a stand-up, actor and writer with sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe who has appeared on Roast Battle and Hypothetical, acted opposite 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer on Urban Myths, and picked up a walk-on role on EastEnders as a Head Judge of a Walford beauty competition!


    Joe has also done tour support for the likes of Sophie Duker and Ellie Taylor, as well as RuPaul's Drag Race stars Trixie Mattel, Alyssa Edwards, Kate Butch and Sasha Velour. In this episode, we discuss:



    • our shared history with a youth drama club
    • being smuggled into a comedy club as a child by his dad to see comics he now performs alongside
    • the process of piling up one-liners then organising with a throughline
    • choosing to lean into being perceived as an effeminate gay man rather than let others weaponise that perception first
    • refusing to soften material for straight audiences
    • and we find out if Joe is happy...
