The Alexei Sayle Podcast

Ep104: Gossip VIDEO

SO SORRY GANG! I forgot to plug my mic in!! So my audio quality is shite this episode.

LUCKILY I didn't talk as much as usual and Alexei steers the ship this week - especially for the first half.

Nice relaxed one here, hope you all enjoy. Got some great guests in the coming weeks/months but for now we're so honoured to share this space with you.

Take all the very best care.

Love and solidarity,

Ep103: Where's Lousie? VIDEO

Hello chums!
Thanks so much for all your (mixed) feedback on last week's episode. I had an absolute blast doing it and can't wait to torture Alexei (and about half of you) again!

This week we're going back to basics and chatting the breeze. It had been a few weeks since it was just Alexei and myself so we had a lot to say. Mostly waffle, of course.

ALEXEI SAYLE D&D WRITING, FLOW CHART AND CHARACTER SHEET

Here you can download and see the work that goes into creating a one-shot D&D game for an ungrateful and grumpy celebrity comedian.

Alexei Sayle Plays Dungeons & Dragons for the First Time (Halloween Special) VIDEO

I can't quite believe I finally got the big guy to play D&D with me. He'll be doing improv scenes soon!
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this strange experiment of an episode.

I will also post here on Patreon all the writings and the flow chart I made for this game so you can see what Alexei missed out on - or run a game for your friends!

Love as always,

Talal x

Ep101: Church of the Sausages (with Mark Thomas) VIDEO

HELLO! I've missed you! Have you missed me??

Sorry for the delay but here is episode 101 with MARK THOMAS! FINALLY!

We've been wanting him on for ages and boy oh boy he's a perfect podcast guest because he can yap and yam with the best of us! Very dense episode here with lots and lots to digest.

Hope it keeps you busy until next week's Halloween Spooktacular! Something very special and spooky planned for yo' asses.

SEE YOU THEN!

Love you always, Talal xxx

Alexei, Lise and Nigel Watch The Young Ones: Ep2

Alexei Sayle, Lise Mayer and Nigel Planer sit down to watch "Oil" - episode 2 of The Young Ones.

Watch along with them as they comment on their favourite parts, recall behind the scenes stories and bewail at what they would be able to get away with today!

Let me know if you would like to see more!

Ep100: EPISODE 100 PODCASTAGANZA!!! - VIDEO

Look, folks. Before you say anything. It's not about what we do for our 100th episode. It's the fact that we reached 100 episodes at all that matters. Here's to 100 more!!

LOVE YOU!

Talal x

-----------------

WE DID IT!!! Episode 100 is here and boy oh boy do we have a thrilling, nail-biting, heart-thumping white knuckle, hell-of-an-episode for you!! Do we? We do, right?? What??! We just chat about Palestine and Your Party and trains and films and stuff? Oh, for...

Ep99: Big Sauce (LIVE from The Ropetackle in Shoreham!) VIDEO

Dearest Patrons, especially Steve! Thanks as always for being here and supporting the show. It would all just fall apart without you. Steve, nice meeting you in Shoreham!

By the time Alexei and myself arrived in the Hollywood of Sussex, it was already dark out. That meant that we weren't able to fully bask in the glorious beauty that I am sure Shoreham boasts on the regular. Alas! On a positive note, the show went so well that they've already invited us back! So see you next year, Shore...

Ep98: Alexei Land VIDEO

HELLO!

Zencastr is the website I use to record our episodes. It's mostly... okay... It's definitely not without it's faults. But this week it gave me such a headache I'm considering fucking it off and finding an alternative way of recording the podcast. You may notice when watching todays episode several glitches. The audio is fine but the video jumps around a bit and glitches out. Anyone remember who Max Headroom was???

Anyway, the main appeal of Zencastr is that it's really fuck...

The Das Kapital Podcast!! (with Nish Kumar) VIDEO

Hello dearest Patrons. I'm so glad you're still here after a couple of recent weeks without a podcast. To make it up to you I'm doing something I should have done two years ago and am editing the second episode of Alexei, Lise and Nigel Watch The Young Ones! I know, I know.. I'm amazing. But YOU deserve it!

Expect to see that on your Patreon feed very soon.

In the meantime please enjoy this week's episode with the intelligent, hilarious and charming Nish Kumar.

Love and so...

Ep96: My Favourite Hulk (RIP Wilf) VIDEO

Hello chums! After a week of reflection and mourning we are back with an episode as yappy as ever!

Would love to know your thoughts on the Grace Campbell/James Schneider of it all.

Don't forget to watch Battle of Algiers before next week's show.

Many many thanks as always for your continued support. T xxx

Ragnarok (LIVE at The Museum of Comedy) VIDEO

On this sad week we release an episode that was recorded before we lost our dear comrade Wilf. They were better times, despite it all. You can hear in our voices that we were having such a blast. Thanks to all who came out to see us during this run of shows. Hope you enjoyed it and see you next time!

RIP Wilf Mbanga 2008-2025

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of maine coon, friend and son Wilf Mbanga (the cat). He lived a pleasant and comfortable 18 years. Friend, comrade and muse to many lucky people - be they rich, famous, needy, ordinary or powerful. Everyone who met him had their lives enriched. Pass into this good night, Wilf. And thank you for your service to the cause. There’s a good cat.

Ep.94: Four Weeks of Carnage (with Dr. Victoria Rose) VIDEO

Hello Patrons! Missed you!

It's hard not to be totally humbled by a person like Dr. Rose. You feel like a useless piece of dirt, to be frank. But we can't all be surgeons of course and we all have our part to play. I am lucky enough to be part of this project which amplifies voices like her and Alexei's and I am proud of that, as much as I wish I could do more. However I only have a certain amount of ability and power and I do what little I can, as many of us all do. Don't stop talking ...

Ep93: Oh, No! NOT THEM! (with Lise Mayer LIVE at The Museum of Comedy)

Two episodes in one week??!! It's almost as if you're the luckiest people on this earth!

I am so pleased every time I get to hang out with Lise Mayer. She's such a classy, gentle, kind person with a killer sense of humour. So I was over the moon to share the stage with here. in between juggling microphones, soft drinks and audience questions, you may notice that I did mishear a couple of the stories and gags and looked a bit dumb as I didn't get the punchline. Well, I just want to reass...

Ep92: It's Giving Alexei VIDEO

Hello all! Yes, the episode is late again. The upside is you'll be getting two episodes this week! Expect a drop of our live show with Lise Mayer this Saturday.

This episode, however, is a nice, chilled out episode with myself and Alexei chatting the shit. I hope you enjoy and as always, solidarity comrades! T x

ps. Our next live show is on the 17th August in The Museum of Comedy. GET YOUR TICKETS!

Ep91: Phoenix Eye (LIVE at the Museum of Comedy) VIDEO

Hello Patrons! As the world burns Alexei has had a busy week being interviewed by The Daily Mirror, Al Jazeera and LBC, he performed at last night's Voices for Palestine and, most importantly, he recorded some new Marxist dance videos!

I'll be dropping them on the socials very soon. But for now, enjoy last week's show at the Museum of Comedy. Please come and see us for one of the next two live shows we have at the Museum. 27th July will feature special guest and writer of The Young On...

Ep90: Welcome to Berlin (LIVE at The Museum of Comedy) VIDEO

Dear Patrons,

Lovely to meet some of you once again at our live show. We really were depressed and angry before the show because of all the Palestine Action business. It cheers me up of course to perform the show live, and with such a gorgeous, warm crowd I was very grateful to be there.

Me and Alexei always stare blankly at each other in the dressing room before the show because we never know what the fuck we're gonna say on stage. It's quite a miracle really that we manage it....

Ep89: El Nuevo Partido VIDEO

Hello Patrons! Sorry for the delay on this week's episode. I had to work and couldn't blah blah blah... so I had to blah blah blah instead etc.

Very frustrating that so much happened since recording this episode. At times like these podcasts are almost instantly dated before you've even had a chance to edit and upload them!

Alternate episode titles for this week: L'Esprit de L'Escalier, Golden Mirror, Toilet Brush, I Notice Cars, Are You Happy?

Did I choose well??!

What's Your Bus Route? (with Seb from @sebbiebikes) VIDEO

Hello Patrons! Such a nice episode this week and I'm SO glad it worked out. Our guest Seb was calling in on his laptop from a park in Northern Kurdistan using his phone as a wifi hotspot... so much could have gone wrong, and some did, but we managed to make a pretty good interview with good quality video and audio! I hope you like it.

It's at times like these, with our government cracking down on free speech whilst arming a genocide in Palestine that I feel so grateful to be working wit...

Ep87: Cheeky Little Devil

Patrons! Thanks for your patience while I went away to dodge Israelis in France (listen to the episode to learn more).
Couple things to address: Yes, we say this is episode 86 at the beginning of the episode, when it is in fact episode 87. That was my oversight and the reason it happened is to boring to explain. Message me if you're having trouble sleeping and I'll gladly explain. Secondly I am away at Glasto next week but I mean it when I say we will do everything we can to record an epi...

Ep86: Crossroads

TWO DAYS EARLY! Lucky you! That hopefully makes up for the lack of video (all explained in the episode). Hope everyone is doing the best they can and holding it together in these dogshit times. I'm off to France for a week. Love and appreciate you all. Please keep kicking arse and screaming into the void while I'm away. Hope I'm back in time for the revolution!

Ep85: Crumbs (with Esther Manito)

Hello dear comrades. So a couple of things: the video this week is VERTICAL (GASP! SHOCK! HORROR!). Esther's laptop broke so she had to do the episode on her phone and when I did the landscape video her camera zoomed right in on her nose so for the sake of her dignity I had to do the uncouth thing and change the ratio of the video - poetically matching the Tik Tok videos that we discuss at the start of the episode! Secondly: because Esther was on her phone, her audio isn't ideal. GET OVER IT!...

Ep84: Stupid Noises VIDEO

Hello dear Patrons. Sorry for the delay on this one, we were busy yesterday filming some Tik Tok content for your asses. Get ready to see Alexei dancing about like a 14 year old girl.

We're on Tik Tok and Instagram as @alexeisaylepod and the videos will be on there very soon.

A bit of a Talal heavy episode this week. It gets emotional, but also has some really funny bits and a extra juicy slice of comedy history thanks to Alexei's great involvement in some iconic moments. Find at...

Lies! Lies! (LIVE AT THE MUSEUM OF COMEDY) - VIDEO

Our Museum of Comedy swan song (until they have us back in July that is)! The video camera cut out at about 55mins into our show so I filled up the rest of the video here with some random pics of Alexei off my phone from over the years. Some nice treats in there! Such a fun night out with some fans of the show. It's really exciting going up there with Alexei and next to nothing planned. There are occasional moments when me and Alexei look at each other, knowing we have nothing. Then as if by ...

Ep82: Shadowban (with Jen Brister) VIDEO

Let's take a little break from live shows, shall we? Dearest Patrons of the revolutionary Alexei Sayle Trotkast we bring you a fab episode with the brilliant comedian Jen Brister. If you haven't seen her stuff before, go seek some out. She's top class. And she's a comrade!

Who's your favourite/least favourite Russel? How about Josh? Have you ever been invited to the secret floor??

Back at The Museum of Comedy for next week's episode.

Enjoy, T xxx
