Hello, you are listening to Shagmaridanoid. Please keep me anonymous.
Part of the Shagmaridanoid extended universe. Stop. This week we are joined by, honestly...
very very funny bloke bit of a hero of mine from back in the day it's Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs yep and he's here he's chatting to us because he is playing Teen Angel in the critically acclaimed Grease the Immersive Experience it did have a sold out run in 2025 but it is back you're wanting to go to this aren't you I'm desperate to go totally sold on this well it's Grease it's live it's in an outside like Evolution London in Battersea Park yep love it and you can get dressed up and you can sing along and you can have a mintime
What is Ricky Wilson promoting and where is Grease The Immersive Musical playing?
It's like, yeah, he says everyone goes dressed up. His exact words, I think, at one point were, if you're not dressed up, you'll feel stupid.
I think the kids would like this as well.
Yeah, it sounds amazing.
I'm really up for going to this.
So it opens at Evolution London in Battersea Park for a limited run from the 22nd of July to the 13th of September. For tickets, go to greasetheimmersivemoviemusical.com. Catch a little website there.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it sounds absolutely mint. I think you're going to enjoy this chat too as well. It goes a bit off tangent.
He's a maniac. He's a full maniac. It's class. Full maniac. Very, very funny.
Yeah, enjoy.
Would you, for five million pounds, tax-free.
Yeah, love questions like this. Tax-free, okay.
Live in this house, this room for a year.
For what, five million quid?
Where am I shitting? Oh, you can order anything you want off Amazon.
Yeah, I would. What, with the kids or without the kids? No, on your own. Yeah.
I'd do it with the dad. She'd pay you five million a living the other year. Are you joking? You'd be just going, right, I'll get a TV. First day. Yeah, there's one there. Is that a TV? Yeah. Well, that's not big enough. You'd get a big one there. Massive telly. I would love that. You'd be ordering stuff every day. It'd eat into your five million, but it's five.
No, just a little bit. Get a fan in that.
What an odd question.
Lush to have you here.
Oh, are we on?
We're on. We probably caught your question there. We probably caught your question at the beginning there.
Do you want to get your fangirling out of the way?
Well, obviously we've met. We've met before. We've done panel shows together. But I'm very excited. Like, anyone who listens to this know that you guys, like back in the day, Kaiser Chiefs, were talking my jam, going out, starting in Clubs in Sutherland. I am 39.
We're 40 this summer.
There's a chance I'll be 40 when this comes out. Okay. I'm nearly 50 now. Right. That's scary, isn't it? We're talking you guys. We're talking the Cribs. Amazing. Future Heads. Great. Maximo Park. Great. I'm joking. I know them all. It's because you know them really well.
I know them all.
Like madness. Madness?
No, no, no. They were a little bit before.
Oh, he's quick. He's also quick. He's also quick, because since being a rock star, he's also done shitloads of telly, and he's really fucking quick. There was a club in Sunderland called Q Club. Q Club, yeah, I know it. Is that still there? I don't think so.
Don't look for it.
But when I predict the riot used to come on, there was an area of Sunderland called Riop. Oh, of course.
I think you can understand what I mean. I'm ahead of you. It's funny what I predict to riot because we play it and we've been playing it for 20 years and now it's quite heavy. But when I hear it on the radio, I go, it's really tame.
Do you think?
I think that about a lot of things. I can remember when I bought Nevermind and thinking it was the heaviest thing I've heard. Now I'm going, it's quite poppy in here.
It's weird. I used to sing. We used to finish our set in the club bands without a particular ride. Did you? Yeah.
You were in a club band?
I was in a club band, yeah.
You ever done any musical theatre?
Yes.
Have you?
Yes. Love it. Oh, mate. Do you? I'm all about it. This, by the way, the reason you're here, talking to us.
Oh, right, yeah. Did I segue then?
That was a lovely segue.
