080 - From Centre Court to Centre Stage with Pauline Eyre

What do you get when you cross a love of drama, a pandemic, and a love of puns? Comedian Pauline Eyre, that’s what.

In this episode of the Open Mic Comedy Podcast, host Marc chats with Pauline about her wild ride from open mic hopeful to professional stand-up performer. They talk Edinburgh Fringe, dodgy first gigs, and how lockdown turned her comedy career upside down (in a good way). She shares hard-earned lessons from the comedy trenches, explains why MCing is like herding drunk cats, and reveals how writing has become both therapy and a tool for tighter punchlines.

Expect stories about pun competitions, stage fails, and finding your voice (and your niche crowd). They also dive into diversity in comedy, the importance of collaboration, and why you should always stay for the headliner.

It’s a must-listen for anyone navigating the comedy circuit—or just wondering what happens when a storyteller finds a mic and refuses to put it down.
