Seated or standing? Support band or drinks? Sing along as loudly as possible or watch in respectful silence? These are the dilemmas that have plagued Ivo and Alex - stand up comedians by night, gig pigs by night off - over a decade and a half of watching live music together and it’s time to start opening them up to the floor. Join them every Thursday to find out who they’ve been to see live this week, and which guest they roped along for the ride.

S3 EP5: Everything Everything with Lolly Adefope
We're the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to us? Because we've achieved our Desire! Desire! and (so nearly) watched Everything Everything, the most interesting and consistent band of their generation, alongside their biggest fan, and Alex's birthday twin, Lolly Adefope (Saltburn, Ghosts, @elevenish). A joyous hour of pig climbs, pig falls, and pink piggies with their hands on their ears: she makes the foolish grin, we flap around in pigskin, and for just one pod, one pod we feel, like we might be on the right path, the path that takes us home. It's a dream we're in with her!

S3 EP4: Pixies with John Robins
Is he free, can he gig, is he promised to the pig? An apologetic pleasure to speak easy with Johnny JR about the Planet of Sound (if not Vision) that was Pixies at the Forum: bearded villains, corporate restructuring and where his mind's at re: gig etiquette and encore requirements. Our heads were feeling scared but our hearts were feeling free!

S3 EP3: Future Islands with Eleanor Tiernan
Seasons change, and we’ve grown tired trying to change for you (we haven’t). Alex and Ivo are joined by Eleanor Tiernan to discuss hot chocolate, fanboying the Waterboys, and Baltimore’s finest, Future Islands, who made some old pigs very happy at the Kingston Pryzm in January!

S3 EP2: BC Camplight with Frankie Thompson and Liv Ello
Connect me to the manager please, we’re on 302! From Bake Off to bag drop, a vast rotation of mirth with critically acclaimed apocalypse dreamers Frankie and Liv, who were in a uniquely weird place when it came to watching this week’s mum-ringing 6 music darling. We’re more than alright with this pod!

S3 EP1: Gilla Band with Michael Fry
The pigs are officially back gigging (/uploading discussions of more gigs we pigged in 2023) and what a jewel (emerald) we have to kick things off: multi-instrumental viral alchemist and late-noughties Oxegen mainstay Michael Fry, guiding us through the scorching intensity of his compatriots Gilla Band and their lamentably cursed garage, as experienced at Fabric in December. We try not to boast and put it on toast, but we'll be honest with you: we're big fans of this episode!

Pig Tales: Foxes & Hedgehogs
How many Beatles songs is Paul McCartney obliged to play at Glastonbury? How many Beta Band songs is Steve Mason obliged to play at Green Man? And how many Gig Pigs songs will Foxes and Hedgehogs be obliged to play at the Amersham Arms? Both of them, we hope, as Alex and Ivo talk to Dan and Jack of F&H, soundtrackers to the pod, ahead of February 16th’s collision of worlds in south east London. Tuck into this hallmark pre-gig pig, also featuring Kombu Nori and Jeez Lluis, and join us on Friday night! We’ll share only a few hours but you’ll remember every minute!

Customer Reviews
Comedians/friends talk about live shows
Alex and Ivo are really funny, friendly hosts who like a variety of music genres. They go to a music show with a friend and talk about it after. As an introvert who hates crowds, I only see a couple shows a year. Sometimes I wish I could go to more without actually going to them. Problem solved! They talk about the show critically, but also celebrate the emotional affects of the live experience. Keep up the good fun guys!
