S8 Ep 7: Comedian Nathan Foad on Irish slang, manifesting Tina Fey & working in a toy shop

This episode was recorded in 2021 and re-edited in 2026. Welcome back to The 80% re-edits! This week my guest is Nathan Foad. Nathan is a writer, comedian, performer, expert present wrapper and definitely not a hockey player. Before the first lockdown in 2020, Nathan executive produced a Channel 4 taster pilot for his original sitcom ‘Newark, Newark’ named after his home town Newark on Trent. But the success and achievement does not stop there which leaves me fuming. He has written for the BBC3/RTE production The Young Offenders, The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice for Channel 4 as well as being under commission from BBC Comedy and Comedy Central. If you haven’t see his brilliant online series Comedians in Quarantine, just click here baybuh. And if you’re looking for even more hilarity from Nathan, read his essays on his website and make sure you you follow him on Twitter and Instagram. Reader, je love him - he is a joy. Fast forward to 2026 and he is now part of the writing team for SNL UK which debuts on 21st March 2026. I can't wait! Peace and love and happy listening!
