Sitcom writer and creativity expert Tim Reid uncovers top comedians' backstories by exploring their key "first times", the pivotal first steps in their lives, their careers and their creative process. Like the first time they realised they were funny, first gig, first time they died on their arse, first thing they do when they're struggling for ideas...
There'll be surprising revelations, the odd embarrassing confession, and a load of top recommendations for how we can all be more creative. In Fist Of Firsts, Tim picks the brains of the nation's favourite comedians to find out how the people who think differently think, and to flush out the method in their madness.

Tim talks to comedian, actor and podcaster Justin Moorhouse about how he went from homeless Peter Kay disciple to tiger-face-painted star of Phoenix Nights and award winning stand-up comedian. Tim and Justin discuss the power of saying "No", the creative fuel that comes from Imposter Syndrome and what a mate's mum vowed never to do for him again.
