Paulus, AKA The Cabaret Geek joins us for a chat about his fabulous new show - Looking For Me Friend. The show, with 5 star reviews, is dedicated to legendary Victoria Wood with more than 20 of her songs from her incredible repertoire. Paulus talks about his life long adoration for Vic, as he calls her. He never met her, although nearly did, and - well,... you can listen to the story - he tells it better than us! Chatting from his home in London, and in the company of his cat, Paulus talks about the show in detail; what fans can expect, and how he and his colleague, have developed a perfect stage moment which captures so much of her talented songs and work..... Yes they'll be some of her much loved characters in there. Looking For Me Friend is no tacky copy-cat act, Paulus let's loose the show's content through his own personality and style - and the combination of his humour and addictive delivery makes this show a stand-out - for everyone to enjoy - you definitely don't need to know about Victoria Wood to see this show - but we guess you will know an awful lot about her, and the awesome Paulus, when it's over! ★★★★ 'If you are a fan of Wood, or simply feel the need for some uplifting, live entertainment, then this is a must see.'

Robert is an expert on the works of PG Wodehouse – and he tells the story of how he came to be touring with the show and what an incredible success the tour has been so far. He also talks about his passion for PG Wodehouse’s work – not just a writer, but a musician and lyricist – did you know he wrote the lyrics to Anything Goes (British Version?!) ‘Everyone should come to see the show, whether you love PG Wodehouse or not – it’s a great night out at the theatre, full of laughter and music.” Thank you to Robert for such a great conversation – we can’t wait to see you at the New Wolsey Theatre soon!

Douglas Rintoul talks about the black comedy with a dark heart - DNA (written by Dennis Kelly) - or as The Guardian quotes "sharp shocker of a play cleverly piles on the twists, as guilt and madness work their poison on group dynamics". Listen to Doug's fascinating views on this explosive play and how he is about to create a gripping show which hits the New Wolsey Stage from 2 - 9 Feb 2023. He says: “DNA is a special project for the New Wolsey Theatre, it’s my first production as Chief Executive/Artistic Director, it’s a rare outing of this top-notch play from one of our greatest writers, but more importantly it celebrates the best of East Anglia’s emerging talent. If a regional theatre doesn’t support the growth of its local ecology then it will see the loss of more talent from the industry, now more than ever."

In this episode, six of our lovely Goldilocks and the Three Bears cast came back to have another chat with us!! We caught up with them in the middle of a double show day to find out how the show has been going so far, some secrets from backstage, and their favourite things about being in a panto! We've got more (dreadful) Christmas cracker jokes too, as well as a little Christmas themed quiz for each of them - they definitely do not get competitive... Thanks again to the cast for giving us their time to record with us! Book your Panto tickets HERE. Book your Livestream Panto tickets HERE.
