The GripeVine

Written by: Nigel Williams and Kym Nelson
  • Summary

  • A podcast about being a comedian, banter, gripes and navigating life in Belgium when you’re English! Hosted by Comedian Nigel Williams, who prompted one Belgium publication to ask; provocateur, idealist or 'well-meaning' hypocrite? His co-host, Kym Nelson, a recent stand-up, thinks all three! So buckle up as Nigel and Kym take you, as the listener, on a chaotic ride that entails spilling out the contents of their eclectic minds, unedited and uncensored for all to listen to.

  • Episode 8: Therapy talk - going way down the rabbit hole!
    Nov 20 2022

    Another sporadic podcast that alternates between comedy, therapy, and darkness.  As per usual, Nigel and Kym lead you down the rabbit hole of their imaginations where they talk about failure, imagine what animal tinder profiles would look like, share embarrassing experiences, and debate the Kaisen method (the 5 "whys" problem-solving strategy) much to Kym's annoyance as she is forced to provide more information than she wanted to!

  • Episode 7: Playful writing and gagging the inner heckler!
    Sep 5 2022

    After a summer break we're back! We explore in comedic fashion how to stop people using you as an airbnb, the trend for big bums, people who wear speedos and thongs in public places, when you accidentally walk onto a nudist beach (Nigel!) and the downside of naturists joining you at your table (again, Nigel!) having too much park-life during an outdoor open-mic, and why nettles have a lot to do with the Scottish being so angry when fighting the English. Plus; new ways of thinking, adapting comedy to the country you're in, being playful with writing (i.e. releasing the inner chimp) and gagging the inner heckler...as always banter, comedy and gripes in equal measure!

  • Episode 6: Being offended and saying things you shouldn't say!
    Jun 30 2022

    We discuss people who are easily offended, if people can choose not to be offended or do they simply like to be offended (well, it's something to moan about apart from the weather!). Trigger warning for anyone who may be listening: this podcast may offend vegetarians and vegans. If you are offended, please leave a remark at the end of the audio. This episode also addresses the gender debate, dealing with hecklers, and how to inject attitude into comedy as a stand-up.
