On this podcast I will be interviewing performers and colourful creatures from the entertainment world (actors, ballet dancers, drag queens and creative souls) and we'll be making you laugh as my guests and I regale you with our funniest on-stage moments, embarrassing audition experiences, devastating rehearsal room travesties, hilarious drama school memories, not to forget, all the random jobs we put ourselves through in order to survive whilst we are ...."resting". Hosted by Joseph Raisi-Varzaneh
