Dan Buckley is an actor with a huge number of musical theatre productions under his belt including 'The Book of Mormon', 'Loserville' and 'Fisherman's Friends'. However it was his brilliant social media content which made me aware of him. Dan makes funny, well observed and painfully true videos which completely encapsulate the highs, lows and all-consuming agony of working within this industry.
This interview went to places I wasn't expecting it to so I just tried to give Dan space to talk about his own personal experience without judgement or pressure. We cover the usual sources of theatre demons such as bad digs and haunting onstage mishaps. But also discuss addiction and behavioural cycles that can be hard to break in a sometimes toxic environment.
