321 Santa Claus (and Herbie Treehead)

In this Christmas Special, we speak to the actual Santa Claus, via his little helper and confidant, consummate clown Herbie Treehead. Herbie is a phenomenal street-performer, known around the world for his joyful daftness, silly songs and funny bones. We talk about what his first Santa season means to him, and discover an enormously rich and respectful seam of kindness and good cheer. We also dive into Herbie's origins as a performer and his maverick work within vaudeville troupe Slightly Fat Features; learn how to steal a lorry; and reflect on the nature and cost of real performative risk... <a href="http://www.herbietreehead.info/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.herbietreehead.info</a><a href="http://www.slightlyfatfeatures.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.slightlyfatfeatures.com</a> Get ad-free new episodes, bonus content from interviews and much more by joining the Insiders Club at <a href="https://www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders</a> Get <a href="https://www.comedianscomedian.com/TOUR/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tickets for Stu's tour</a>: 25/01/20<a href="http://poundarts.org.uk/whats-on/stuart-goldsmith-end-of/%E2%80%8B" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Corsham – The Pound Arts Centre</a>01/02/20<a href="https://www.thestand.co.uk/performances/751-8170-stuart-goldsmith-end-of-20200201-newcastle/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Newcastle Stand (early show – 5pm)</a>02/02/20<a href="https://www.thestand.co.uk/performances/751-8171-stuart-goldsmith-end-of-20200202-glasgow/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Glasgow – The Stand</a>07/02/20<a href="https://farnhammaltings.ticketsolve.com/shows/1173592297" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Farnham Maltings</a>11/02/20<a href="https://www.seetickets.com/event/stuart-goldsmith-end-of/the-basement-york/1445960" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">York – The Basement</a>12/02/20<a href="https://www.seetickets.com/event/stuart-goldsmith-end-of/hyde-park-book-club-leeds/1445963" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leeds – Hyde Park Book Club</a>28/02/20<a href="https://www.junction.co.uk/stuart-goldsmith" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cambridge Junction</a> <a href="http://www.comedianscomedian.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.comedianscomedian.com</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/ComComPod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Comcompod</a> Happy Christmas one and all.
