In Conversation with David Walliams and Matt Lucas
In this session, David and Matt will exclusively share the inspiration behind their new hit podcast —talking about coming back together again, their newfound love of podcasting, how comedy and entertainment has evolved, the approach they’ve taken creatively, and what excites them most as they look to the future.
David Walliams and Matt Lucas are two icons of British entertainment. They first rose to prominence as a comedic duo with their hit sketch show Little Britain, and went on to win multiple awards and international recognition for their TV shows and sell out tours across the US and Australia.
Since then, Walliams and Lucas have enjoyed hugely successful individual careers. Walliams became the UK’s biggest children’s author—selling over 55 million copies of books such as Gangsta Granny and The Boy in the Dress—and was a long standing judge on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent. He has played characters in popular films such as Netflix’ Murder Mystery with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler, as well as TV adaptations of his books on Sky and BBC.
Lucas, meanwhile, alongside writing numerous Sunday Times best sellers, has thrived on stage and screen – notably hosting The Great British Bake Off, and playing characters in big box office films such as Gladiator II, Paddington, Wonka and Tim Burton’s ‘Alice In Wonderland – as well as playing Monsieur Thenadier on stage in Les Miserables.
After 15 years, the two close friends reunited this year to create a brand new podcast, Making A Scene – where they invite famous names across film, culture and entertainment, to come up with the movie of their life – which immediately shot to No. 1 in the UK across all podcast categories.
The show has already attracted A-list guests including Jack Whitehall, Richard E Grant, Daisy May Cooper, Alan Carr and Rob Brydon – and has had an incredible reaction from fans and audiences.
