Onwards To Victory
Welcome to Onwards To Victory, the show where the world’s most fascinating performers lift the velvet curtain and reveal what really happens behind the spotlight.
Hosted by Magnus Danger Magnus, a multi award winning international showman with more than 25 years performing at the biggest theatres and arts festivals across the globe, this is your backstage pass into the minds of the most creative, chaotic and passion driven humans on the planet.
Every episode, Magnus sits down with the performers who have survived it, shaped it and kept it alive. The drag icons, circus legends, comedians, freak show artists, burlesque royalty and the new generation of wild creative geniuses who are reshaping live entertainment.
This is the real conversation, not the PR version.
The stories nobody tells.
The failures nobody admits.
The resilience, the heartbreak, the obsession and the victories that define a life in showbiz.
If you want to understand how extraordinary people think, create, survive and succeed in one of the most unforgiving industries in the world, or if you simply love creativity, chaos and a proper laugh, you have found your new favourite show.
Join Magnus and his guests on their journey to greatness.

The Human Leatherman Platts! Even the Best Stage Managers Can Accidentally Get Turkey Sl@ppt | EP 14
What do you get when you mix a classical trained actress, a puppeteer, a fringe festival and the emotional backbone of a thousand shows?
You get Platts, the most beloved and battle hardened stage manager in showbiz.
In this backstage deep dive, Platts shares what it's really like to run a show from the wings. From managing sweaty quick changes and rogue acrobats to keeping artists emotionally afloat with affirmations and making sure they’ve got the right pair of knickers or the world is over.
We cover everything:
• The art of solving problems before they happen
• Accidentally getting turkey sl@ppt mid quick change
• How you stop noticing backstage nudity
• Being married while touring the world for months apart
• How the journey started with puppeteering and acting
• The definitive answer to the best Leatherman to own
• And how pretty and talented acrobats are.............
Platts has built tents, run massive venues, lit entire shows, and picked artists up off the floor emotionally and literally.
This one is for the unsung heroes who make the magic happen and anyone who’s ever panicked about their props being set just 'right'.
