A solid in-depth chat with Stephen, covering his illustrious career from those early days of his arch-character in standup comedy (which divided audiences down the middle) and his his return to the stage later down the road, the genesis of the undisputed TV classic ‘The Office’ and its evolution in the US (and being able to watch it objectively at last), right up to being holed up in off-track US locations with Richard E Grant, as well as his current position behind the camera as director of the wrestling biopic ’Fighting With My Family’! How much more besides? So much… Many perspectives and insights and straight up wisdom dropped in this powerful podcast, so set aside some time and ENJOY!</em></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/scroobiuspip" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PIP'S PATREON PAGE if you're of a supporting nature</strong></a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/stephenmerchant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>INSTAGRAM</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/StephenMerchant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>X</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqF3VTv0cqU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY</strong></a></p><br><p><a href="https://www.twitch.tv/scroobiuspipyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PIP TWITCH</strong></a> •&nbsp;<a href="https://www.twitch.tv/collections/2A-kcSTKfBeHBQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>(music stuff)</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/scroobiuspipyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PIP INSTAGRAM</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://scroobiuspip.backstreetmerch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>SPEECH DEVELOPMENT WEBSTORE</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/Scroobiuspipyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PIP TWITTER</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2883357/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>PIP IMDB</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://podbiblemag.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>POD BIBLE</strong></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
