This episode is with Colm G Doran who tells you how to go from a drama degree to working in the theatre after a few years off. We discuss immersive theatre, inspiration and creativity while stuck in house and having a non traditional Irish father who pushes you in to the arts. Colm was also one of the first people who helped me get stage time as a new comedian with open mics at the Bookfinders cafe in Belfast so we have a good laugh about that also.

I chat with Toronto born Stephanie Bukovec who I was lucky enough to work with during my time in Canada and learn a thing or two from regarding football and thankfully for it as she has been plying her trade for a number of years now across Europe from Sweden to Iceland to Croatia to Ajax in the Netherlands and finally back to Croatia where she is first team goalie and now National team goalkeeper through the wonders o the grandmother rule.

I sat down with the very entertaining Bruce Fummey and promised him I'd only take an hour of his day and ended up taking years off his life.
