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!

Outrageously Madelaine Crabb
You thought they were done interviewing Megan’s coworkers? Think again! This week Megan and Jordan are joined by the fiercely funny Actor/comedian Madelaine Crabb!
Maddie joins Acting Up to discuss all things her life and career (try to listen past the accent will you?). A Scottish child of Actor parents, Maddie delves into when your parent is your teacher, maybe I could have skipped drama school? leaving for London and winding up in the DUNGEONS with Ruth Jones and threatening yourself into becoming a stand-up comedian.
Discussions include comedy courses and competitions, writing, partnerships and diva moves, agent relations, Scottish identity and accents, crowd cultures and class, paternal hecklers, auditioning to be Megan’s mother, financing Fringe and how stand-up can inform your acting practices.
Tangents include charity shop hauls, 0 jobs from the pod, Willy out in the bible, clown scams and more outrageous women please.
