Episode 50: Lucy Lush / Drag Queen and Radio Presenter

mercredi 8 mai 2019 • Durée 01:12:43

This week and I chat to the amazingly talented Lucy Lush, drag queen extraordinaire.

Lucy Lush is a drag artiste actress/actor plus one of the campcooks touring UK wide festivals also a Broadcast Journalist for gaydio

Lucy boasts a flamboyant career spanning 20 years working with drag legends, such as Lily Savage.

But, while the name may not be instantly recognisable, his alter ego may well raise a few eyebrows.

She travels all over the UK as drag queen Lucy Lush, performing shows under other guises including Hilda Crabtree, Lucy's 70-year-old grandmother.

Lucy Lush is not an everyday drag act and uses comedy put together from recent topical news stories to constantly update his acts.

"When Lucy Lush is on stage Lucy Lush is real."

"From a performance aspect I can be as outrageous as possible and it's all purely for fun."

A massive thank you to Lucy for being my final guest on the podcast. It's truly a great interview.

Episode 49: Vivien Ella Walden / Madam and Author

dimanche 5 mai 2019 • Durée 43:27

This week I speak to Vivien Ella Walden author of Eating from the Cherry Tree.

Vivien Ella Walden who is still alive and kicking, born in Salford Manchester. Raised in a loving working class Jewish family she ran from her heritage, bared her perfectly formed derriere and partied with the elite and famous while taking on many guises and titles.
With the death of her first husband she took on his mantle and grew to become one of the UK's most successful 'madams' within a world of scandal and naughtiness, corruption and suffering, sadness and exhilarating happiness.

'After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It's better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life'.

EATING FROM THE CHERRY TREE: You had me gripped from the very beginning and captivated me on every single page. A life filled with trauma, tragedy humour and sexiness. Opening your world through beautiful use of language that evaporates any concept of taboo.#5STAR #review MyBook.to/CherryTree

Thanks to Vivien for coming on the show.

This week I chat to Jess Abouzied / Aerial Acrobatic and Circus Skills Teacher

Jess quickly realised that her love of performing and being upside down was a perfect match for circus. With the career goal of being 'professionally awesome' she enrolled on Greentop's full time Circus In Performing Arts course and has been unstoppable ever since.

Now an artist and tutor, Jess specialises in aerial acrobatics across multiple apparatus such as silks and hoop. She also likes to sew costumes, play with fire, and pretend to be a gymnast.

Episode 38: Katie Trickett / International Sideshow, Circus & Variety Performer

dimanche 27 janvier 2019 • Durée 33:41

This week I chat to the wonderful Katie Trickett

Katie Trickett is a sideshow, circus and variety performer living in the UK. She likes shoes, tattoos, small dogs and cake! Katie has a degree in Clothing Design and Technology and was set for a life in the fashion industry until a magician asked her to cover a show for his wife as an assistant and her passion for magic and performance began. After two years working in illusions and assisting several UK magicians Katie decided to learn her own magic, specialising in creating her own stage acts and close up magic.

The jump into the world of sideshow came in 2011 with some escapology shows and being part of a team recreating original 1950s sideshows. Sideshow performance is on a completely different level to magic as all the stunts are genuine and require high levels of natural skill to complete them. These shows are full of real danger, excitement, mind boggling wonders and sometimes a little squeamish in parts but are all round fun and a great flash back at traditional alternative performance.
