Comments: Mat Ricardo is the very definition of a Gentleman Juggler. Starting out as a street performer at Covent Garden in the late 80s, Mat is now a fixture on London’s flourishing Cabaret Scene. He is the producer and host of Mat Ricardo’s London Varieties (which has its own fantastic podcast)

Mike and Mat sat down for a couple drinks at Shoreditch House in London and got their natter on. What didn’t make it to the recording is how much food they ate afterward, and how many miles Mat jogged the following week in an effort to work off his caramel parfait.

As mentioned in the Podcast, we’ve set up a number for people to call and share a memory they have about Robert Nelson for a tribute episode that we’re hoping to put together before the end of the year. The number to call is:
