Getting inside Miles Jupp

This week's best comedy shows on demand.

Inside The Comedian

A great new podcast from David Reed spoofing the whole world of comedian-on-comedian podcasts, asking offbeat questions about the only slightly fictionalised career of his guests.

First up is a very game Miles Jupp, joking about a career of two-dimensional soft-centred characters, rise to fame via the children's TV show Seaside Simpletons and marginal contribution to panel shows, before finding a home on a popular Radio 4 panel show.

The pair go back a long way, having been students at Edinburgh uni together, and it makes for a lovely bit of inside-joke improv.

Listen here.

White Gold

Full of the swagger of the Eighties, White Gold launched this week on BBC Two with Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick and Inbetweeners stars James Buckley and Joe Thomas playing brash Essex double glazing salesman. After the first episode went out, the full series of six episode was released on BBC iPlayer ready for binge watching. After all, it is a comedy about doing things to excess…

Ed Byrne: Crowd Pleaser

Ed Byrne's 2011 stand-up show – previously released on DVD – finds its way to comedy streaming service NextUp. In the 95-minutes show, recorded at Newcastle City Hall, the Mock The Week regular covers some odd celebrity encounters as well as the universally identifiable domestic scenarios that are his forte. Subscribers can watch here.

You Can Never Really Know Someone

Sarah Silverman stars as the troubled Gretchen in this odd short film, released online via Jash. In a series of peculiar and inappropriate encounters, she tries to audition for a singing role meets a new animal companion and accidentally crashes a male-only Bible study group.

It's all about the reality of discovering love in odd places, apparently, and Michael Sheen co-stars.
