Interview with Matthew Greenhough, Creative Director of Wound Up Theatre
"People are being priced out, which is disgusting, and it’s increasingly exclusively a platform for posho’s launching their careers. But at its heart it still aspires to give little greebo no-hopers like me a chance. That’s special."

Interview with Martin Urbano, who is NOT a paedophile

Interview with Clementine Bogg-Hargroves and Zoey Barnes, Please Love Me

Interview with Annabel Marlow, musician, comedian and actor
"I’ve been dreaming of taking my own show to The Fringe ever since I first went in 2017. Also, last year whenever I was out, I’d make myself say to people I met ‘well yeah I’m taking my show next year’ and get people excited, so now I like…have to."

Interview with Angela Beevers, writer, producer, and comedian
"I went to what’s known in the US as a charter school, which is code for very weird and strange theatre kid school where no one does any sports and instead all must be in band or choir and learn Latin, the most useful language of all."

Interview with Ian Smith, multi-award winning comedian and co-host of the Northern News podcast

27 July 2023
Interview with comedian and writer Niamh Denyer
"There’s always that moment before a show where you ask yourself why on earth you put yourself through it, but then at the end you want to go back out and do it all again. It’s the adrenaline rush, connecting with people, making people laugh, there’s nothing else quite like it."

27 July 2023
Interview with comedian and writer Mary O’Connell
"I want them to see how absurd the world is, especially in terms of money and Capitalism. The whole system is kinda absurd. Most of us don’t really fully understand how it works, but we’re all trying to win in this inane system anyway, at least that’s how I feel."

Interview with comedian Thenjiwe Moseley

Interview with Tania Lacy
"Whilst it’s fun to laugh at all the shit life dishes out, I guess the deeper message is keep going. Resilience is the key to success in life."
-
26 July 2023
Interview with Sophie Santos, comedian, actor, and author
"I love writing about misfits. People who are square pegs fitting themselves into round holes. I also used to NOT write about my sexuality or my OCD for fear I wouldn't fit in (or summon my OCD)..."

26 July 2023
Interview with comedian Sikisa
"I would hopefully like the audience to see a different side to me and also see how I have grown as a comedian since I was last at the Fringe. I hope people leave the show feeling uplifted and they have learnt something about me, but also perhaps themselves."
-
26 July 2023
Interview with Lauren Shearing, Showstopper! The Improvised Musical cast member
"The strangest and most wonderful things normally come from brilliant mistakes and misunderstandings in an improv show; you can come on as a background cleaner, but another cast member might think you’re their long-lost twin, and suddenly you’re an integral part of the scene and the wider story."

26 July 2023
Interview with comedian Sachin Kumarendran
"I often encounter a trope that Asian acts will primarily talk about being Asian. I’d like to be known for something other than that, and I feel like in my experience audiences do want to see something more original than that."

Interview with comedian Robin Tran
"I was an English major in college so I had to write upwards of 50 or more essays, and I learned that jokes have a very similar structure to an essay. Once I figured that out, joke-writing became very easy."
