Acting Up
Do you want to know the secret to becoming a successful actor? So do we.
Acting Up is a podcast made for struggling actors, by struggling actors (heavy emphasis on the struggling). Your hosts Megan Alderson and Jordan Skidmore delve into the harsh realities of breaking into a ruthless creative industry when you're working class, working a suffocating day job and disgustingly desperate. If you are sick of success stories and looking for something real, relatable and - in our opinion - quite funny? Welcome to Acting Up!

Acting Up
Getting Drunk and Explaining Shakespeare
This week Acting Up has, along with many of you, been deeply saddened, angered and disappointed to be reminded of the hate fuelled dystopia we find ourselves living in.
This podcast has and will always be a safe space to build community and uplift your voices. For the working class, the LGBTQIA+ community and especially our trans friends, for POC, for women and femmes and anyone who’s safety and body autonomy is threatened by politics. Though it’s so important to stay informed and to keep fighting for freedom and safety for all, it’s also okay to take a break when it all starts to feel too heavy.
So, in that vein, pulled from the archives today you have quite possibly the stupidest episode we have ever done - getting mashed and explaining Shakespeare. Take 45 minutes to look away from the darkness, and have a laugh at two drunk, unemployed actors. Megan throws it back to drama school and takes on Macbeth (but she can’t remember his name) and Jordan infects Twelfth Night with the woke mind virus. It also appears Jordans microphone wire was also drunk, so apologies for weird sounds, Megan’s breathing and a general lack of any composure or education value.
Megan and Jordan are both adults and do not condone drinking x
Tangents include tattoo removal, bum tattoos & modelling in Barcelona, sore rejections, lego hair and missing the proposal!
