In this very special episode, The Human Knot, Al Millar talks to the 2021 inductee into the Busker Hall of Fame, the one and only Sharon Mahoney. Sharon is hilarious, direct, and has a big personality.
Sharon shares her journey as a performer starting out with an interest in improv in high school, pursuing a degree in theater arts, and getting to do workshops with the clown duo of Mump and Smoot. It was there she found her love of character and it's where the very beginnings of her character, Talulah, were developed.
She talks about working Australia and getting addicted to street performing, using her tenacity as a street performer to improve her stand-up comedy act, and being influenced by Abi Collins (who was featured on Episode 122 of this podcast) and how it changed her thinking about female street performers.
Sharon has a great perspective on the world of street theater as well as the role of females in it. This conversation is peppered with some great stories and insight into our industry from one of the strongest acts out there and now the newest inductee into the Busker Hall of Fame!
