Shut Up I’m Talking

What do you get when naivety meets extraordinary opportunity? This podcast. An authentic and hilarious insight into the weird, wonderful and endlessly curious brains of two firmly Gen Z YouTubers who have grown up in the intense spotlight of the internet. Meet Tom Simons, aka TommyInnit, and Jack Manifold every week as they open up their diaries and try to make sense of the internet-famous-meets-normal-real-life lives they are living.

Tom unveils his drag persona, shares his James Marriott gig catastrophe, and Jack explains how he ended up sharing a bed with AverageHarry in Italy.

This week on Shut Up I’m Talking, TommyInnit and Jack Manifold welcome viral TikTok comedian and Brighton local Isaac HP to the podcast, whose wild energy and painfully honest humour have made him one of the UK’s most unpredictable rising stars.

 From his difficult childhood to making himself into a meme and becoming a social media phenomenon, Isaac opens up about mental health, working-class shame, burnout, and the fear of not belonging in the creative world.

He talks about his toughest comedy gigs, being mistaken for a terrorist in Poole, surviving therapy and TikTok addiction, and how Brighton helped him rebuild his life. Tom and Jack talk about their own creative struggles too, from streaming, writing and performing to staying authentic and not being defined by stats. 

Expect hilarious stories, raw honesty, and some deep takes on class, anxiety, creativity, and the healing power of comedy. Plus Isaac’s love of actual newspapers, Minions, and his worst moment of the week.
