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.
This is Onwards To Victory, the greatest podcast in human history.

What He Learned Performing for the World’s Elite
Chris Dugdale has lived a life most people wouldn’t believe. From being handed a wad of cash by the billionaire who invented Skype at James Bond’s birthday party to performing for Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Richard Branson, the Queen, and King Charles, while he drunkenly said “just get on with the bloody trick,” while spilling custard all over himself.
He shares many amazing stories, some he probably shouldn’t, including the one he was never meant to talk about because no one ever handed him that NDA.
We discuss the time he broke down at the Pentagon and was comforted by a four-star general in front of 600 of the most powerful people in America. How a private two-hour booking with Beyoncé and Jay-Z turned into six hours of magic, clay pigeon shooting, and Jay-Z DJing his finale magic act. And the many surreal moments in showbiz that money can’t buy.
Along the way, Chris reveals the mindset behind staying at the top of his craft. The psychology of misdirection. The discipline and obsession that shaped his career. The grief that nearly broke him. The persistence that saved him. And the backstage chaos that every performer lives for.
A world-class magician, a world-class storyteller, and one of the most charismatic guests ever to sit down on this show.
