Back in my Apsley marina days, Janul aka Jan Knox was my neighbour. She had one boat then . Now she has 4. She trains new boaters, drives trip boats, spent time as the main broker for Boatshed in London and is an author too (find her work on Amazon). As if that wasn't enough, she's married to Warren from Pumpout Boat 'Picot' and her neighbour is 'Keith' - the now legendary inspiration for much of the Angry Boater show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfXmlSjebaw).
'Angry Boater' will be live at the 2018 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, twice daily, from Aug 6th to 26th (not Tuesdays). Showtimes are 3.45 pm to 4.45 pm at Finnegans Wake and 7.25 pm to 8.25 pm at City Cafe.
This is great conversation. Amongst the psychobabble & human issues, we get into the current spate of muggings around Hackney, Johnny's time in prison, (not related to the muggings in Hackney) more about his father and a dramatic update on Joel's latest efforts to get his pump out tank operational again.
A full day of failed pump out attempts, boat rocking, prodding, more failed pump outs, acid, inspection hatches, sticks, organic matter & non organic matter. Limehouse to Hackney Wick to Springfield Marina.
My worst nightmare. It's happening now. Here's 25 minutes of me thinking out loud.
How do you get your electricity? How do you keep warm in the winter? How do you heat your water? The need to give long winded explanations to Muggles is finally over. 2 words: "Johnny Diesel."
Topics covered include death, near death experiences & why this podcast almost didn't happen due to Joel's near death experience on the ramp leading down to Johnny's barge.
Some really great stories on this episode plus discussion about the hows & whys of Johnny Diesel as well as tons of meandering psychobabble.
New 2018 shows: 'The Angry Boater' will be live in London for 9 special Tuesday night shows at top comedy venues in Kings Cross (2 Northdown) & The Angel, Islington (The Bill Murray).
‘The Angry Boater’ is the original, boatilicious show about what it’s really like to abandon the land for life on the water.
