One of the North East’s most distinctive comedy voices is celebrating a milestone with his topical podcast “Bazookaaah”. Recorded from his home in North Tyneside, comedian Gavin Webster takes aim at the week’s headlines, firing off sharp observations, irreverent humour and gloriously unpredictable takes on the news — with UK politics firmly in the comedic firing line.
Now marking its 60th edition, Bazookaaah has built a loyal audience for Webster’s unfiltered take on current affairs, cultural oddities and the everyday absurdities of modern life.
Each episode sees Gavin dissect the stories everyone’s talking about, delivering punchlines as explosive as the podcast’s title suggests. From Westminster chaos to global headlines, nothing is off-limits as the news is satirised from his house in North Tyneside.
As well as entertaining his loyal fans across the North East and the wider UK comedy circuit, Gavin says the podcast is also aimed at Geordies living overseas who might be missing a little bit of home.
“A friend of mine who lives abroad told me one of the things he misses most is hearing the Geordie accent in everyday life,” said Webster. “When you’re far from home, just hearing a bit of the North East voice and having a laugh about the world can be a real comfort. If Bazookaaah gives Geordie ex-pats a taste of home and a good laugh at the same time, then that’s a brilliant thing.”
The podcast offers fans both old and new the chance to hear the comedian at his most candid — riffing on the week’s news, satirising UK politics and uncovering the strange, hilarious angles others might miss.
“Bazookaaah” is available on major podcast platforms, with its 60th edition now released.
