Performer Trauma

On this episode I have the pleasure of catching up with stage sensation and old old friend Holly James.
A love letter from Broadway to London
Holly truly is lightening on stage, you literally cannot take your eyes off her and if you've been lucky enough to see her in a performance you'll know I'm telling the truth! 
We talk about her journey from where we both started out, at our school in Covent Garden in the 90's, to Reno...West End and now on to Broadway.
It really is all about the journey and what a colourful one it is
Holly is in a one woman show at Midnight Theatre in Hudson Yards in 2023! 

On this episode it is my honour to have Selina Mosinski, the actress behind Charity Shop Sue stop by for a chat!
 We chat about all the roads that led to her finding her Sue family, finding creative freedom and the future...and how we stopped giving a shit and how it sets you free. 
 I can't wait for yo to hear Selina's story

Actor, drag sensation, author, recording artist, make up creator... the list goes on
