Cassie Workman talks with Mike about her new horror-comedy series, Cassie Workman is Witchy AF, a puppet-and-drawings deep dive into occult history that plays, in Mike's words, like "a demented kid show." Workman traces her path from stand-up in Perth, Australia, and a run as head writer on The Aaron Chen Show, to fusing comedy and the occult into a series she finally pitched after years on the back burner, landing with manager Lawrence and Etch's Will Battersby and Phil.They dig into the puppet cast, including Ben Russell's King Grimsquawk, built from one note ("Just do Werner Herzog as a bird"), the brutal two-week Asbury Park, New Jersey shoot (40 pages a day, 4 a.m. calls), and Workman's partnership with producer Lily Wachowski, whom she met by writing her a fan letter. She also talks up the mostly-women, largely-queer cast and crew, the Asbury Park locals who turned out as demons and extras, and Edinburgh Fringe.Find Cassie Workman on Instagram: @TheCassieWorkman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 15, 2026
Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with executive coach, theater artist, and University of Virginia lecturer Denise Stewart for a conversation about story, voice, and confidence. With more than three decades of experience as an actor, playwright, and director, Denise now coaches CEOs, physicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, and university students on how to access their own stories — not a polished script, but the real, specific, unglamorous truth that actually connects. Topics covered: Why code-switching and accent shame shape how we show up to speak The difference between a "vulnerable moment" and a "weak performance" Why vague stories ("it was a hard time") lose an audience, and how to dig for the moment underneath Aristotle's six elements of story — plot, character, spectacle, diction, music, and theme — as an entry point into your own history "Story pulling" instead of storytelling: how to help someone else open up without interrogating them Why some audiences need vulnerability and others need authority, and how to tell the difference Protecting the stories you haven't "earned" the right to tell yet How Denise coaches Tibetan entrepreneurs, neurosurgeons, and early-stage founders to pitch from story instead of platitude About Denise Stewart: Denise Stewart is an executive coach and lecturer at the University of Virginia's Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, where she teaches public speaking, improv, and storytelling. She holds an MFA in Playwriting from UVA and has spent over 15,000 hours in public speaking and theatrical performance, including touring her one-woman show Dirty Barbie and Other Girlhood Tales to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

In this week's episode (The 250th!) I sat down with Sarah Hartshorne and Pamela Rae Schuller. Sarah is a writer and comedian best known for none of those things: she was the plus size contestant on Cycle 9 of America's Next Top Model. In addition to writing her first book, You Wanna Be On Top?, she has also written for the Guardian, Vogue, Gawker, Teen Vogue and more. She has also performed standup all over the country and at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Pamela is a professional stand-up comedian, storyteller, and internationally recognized disability advocate who transforms neurological chaos into powerful messages of inclusion and authenticity. Featured on Netflix, NBC, and in The New York Times, she blends humor, research, and lived experience to change how we think about disability and mental health.We discuss existing in bodies that are often represented, but do not tell the full story, representation vs. entertainment through the lens of reality television and so much more.

Are your social feeds filling up with automated slop and made-up stories? In this episode of Digital Marketing From The Coalface, Dave and Julie return from their summer break to tackle the fine line between smart AI productivity and cringey, low-quality automation. If you're an engineering company leader looking for genuine online visibility without the fluff, this episode shows you how to put AI to work to provide high-value data analytics while keeping human strategy firmly in the driver's seat. What we cover in this episode: The cringey AI lead magnet test: Julie shares what happened when she tested a tool that promised 30 "tailored" LinkedIn posts, only to receive completely fake case studies and bizarre claims. Talking to your data in plain English: Dave and Julie talk about how connecting tools like Windsor.ai to Google Search Console, Google Ads, and GA4 lets you query your marketing data in natural language, bypassing complex PowerBI filters and SQL queries. AI watermarks & editorial control: AI watermarking isn't something to fear if you take ownership of your content. You need to make sure to apply human oversight, and refine every word you're sharing. Strategy vs. "random acts of marketing": tech businesses need a structured marketing framework so that their teams aren't just creating ad-hoc AI content for the sake of it. Plus, Julie and Dave swap summer highlights and office drama, featuring Edinburgh Fringe comedy, metal detecting adventures, a new coffee machine, and some spilled milk that no one cried over.

RHLSTP #626 - Maths is Sh*te - Rich is back at the Edinburgh Fringe, 39 years after his first appearance. His guest is fiery MP turned brilliant comic, Mhairi Black. They talk about how she became the youngest MP since 1667 (maybe), why the toxic, alcohol-sodden Houses of Parliament was not the place for her, her record breaking swearing, calling Rishi Sunak a dickhead (or not), impressing David Cameron and the media attention and death threats that come with it all. Plus thoughts on Farage, Scottish Independence and Brexit in Mhairi's usual uncompromising stance. Plus ghosts, ham hands, how Mhairi pivoted into acting and the ultimately doomed United Kingdom and its outdated parliament.

Magic Island Storytelling Theatre: Strange Tales From The Isle Of Arran: Ghost & fairy tales & more.
And so we come to the final episode of this dramatic tale inspired by the urban landscape and macabre folklore of my native southside of Glasgow, a story I've wanted to perform and record like this ever since I first performed it live in the theatre at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival way back in 2015, a story I was intent on performing, then as now, in an unequivocal, unapologetic Glaswegian voice and language. I hope with this, and the preceding episodes, I have done my native city full dramatic justice, in my own macabre sort of a way.Our young narrator has looked set to suffer the most terrible yet of all the many cruelties the Vampire has inflicted on him, having to stand by and watch as the Vampire sinks his iron teeth into the throat of his ailing mother on her sick bed. But maybe our protagonist has more fight in him than even he had thought, fight enough to challenge the Vampire at last - to take him on in a fight to the death. The Gorbals Vampire Must Be Destroyed!

Arj Barker! Comedian! Actor! Friend! Delight! More! Arj's new comedy album The Mind Field is out now from Blonde Medicine! We have a great talk and you can have a great listen! ABOUT ARJ BARKER: Barker started his comedy career in the 90s as a dare but quickly dropped out of college to focus on the craft. Through the years he developed his distinct performance style, characterized by heavy sarcasm, absurd logic, and a stage persona that blends unwavering confidence with hilarious ignorance. After 35 years of late-night stand-up sets, acting and writing for the stage and on TV, and headlining shows of all sizes, he remains a beloved, globe-trotting powerhouse in the contemporary comedy landscape. On The Mind Field, Arj Barker encourages the audience to reflect on questions insufficiently explored by science: What is consciousness? Is it stored in the brain or is there a bigger reality somewhere beyond our minds? "Having lost my best friend quite suddenly a few years ago, these questions took on more urgency, and this stand up that formed around that." says Arj. On the album he also explores equally important topics like meditation, masturbation, and travelling over an hour to eat mediocre pizza. Barker wraps up the album with a song about drinking too much coffee in Australia, which he brings to life with a harmonica, inspiring the audience to sing along. MORE ABOUT ARJ BARKER: Acclaimed stand-up comedian and actor Arj Barker's early career took shape in San Francisco during the early 90s, where he hosted a regular open-mic night at Café Nuvo. His breakthrough arrived in 1997 when he won the prestigious Perrier Best Newcomer Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. He became a frequent fixture on late-night TV, making multiple stand-up appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, and The Late Show with David Letterman. He has hosted many Comedy Central Presents specials, co-written and starred in the Off-Broadway parody show The Marijuana-Logues in 2004 and joined the cast of the hit HBO sitcom Flight of the Conchords in 2007. For decades Barker has been a headline regular and record-breaking ticket seller at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Fringe. Now living in Australia, Barker has achieved monumental status as an adopted superstar there. His widespread appeal across Oceania has been bolstered by regular appearances on major Australian television programs such as Thank God You're Here, Rove, and Spicks and Specks. He has released several top-selling comedy albums and live specials, including the ARIA award winning DVD Organic and co-wrote and starred in The Nut Farm in 2024. FOR EVEN MORE ABOUT ARJ BARKER...

The 24ff day of the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe.
In this episode of The Comedians Paradise, we dive deep into the mind of Edinburgh Fringe legend and Malcolm Hardee Award winner, Mark Dean Quinn. From his legendary cult status as the man who ate a kilogram of cheese on stage at 2:00 AM, to the rules of his chaotic new late-night alternative hit, Mark Dean Quinn Tries to Walk Towards a Flipchart, we explore what it truly means to make maverick comedy.We break down the evolution of audience interaction, why live comedy is shifting away from corporate influences, and the psychological relationship between a comedian and the audience's laughter. Whether you are a comedy nerd curious about the health implications of eating dairy for an hour on stage, or a performer looking to navigate corporate sponsorships without losing your joyful, unexpected spark, this episode is a masterclass in comic originality.Episode Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction to the Fringe and Mark Dean Quinn02:57 – The Unique Experience of Live Comedy05:58 – The Evolution of Comedy and Audience Interaction09:09 – The Relationship Between Comedy and Laughter12:06 – The Cheese Show Phenomenon17:59 – Health Implications and the Future of Comedy25:32 – The Art of Comedy and Performance28:14 – Navigating Sponsorship and Publicity 29:55 – The Fringe Experience: Joy vs. Corporate Influence36:05 – Creating Unique Comedy Experiences39:11 – The Evolution of Comedy Shows50:04 – Audience Dynamics and Engagement54:19 – Finding Joy in the UnexpectedIf you would like to know more about Mark, you can follow his Instagram at mark_dean_quinn.

Hello EICriminals! Today, we're taking a stroll down bonkers alley to answer the question that you've all been asking… when is a shoe not a shoe? We're really living in a foot guy's world rn… We share our heartache following the death of Dolly Parton and reflect on the incredible legacy she's left behind. Keep your ears peeled for Beth's *very* special tribute. Are you kinda sick of kinda chic? The trend that we've all been seeing ALL over our feeds this summer has got us wondering… is there any room for creativity online when creators are rewarded for replicating content? We also discuss Amanda Knox and her Edinburgh Fringe show. Why has her show sparked such a debate? Does she have the right to tell her story and what moral obligations does she have? We discuss the case and details of the trial in the second segment, if this is something you may not wish to hear please do skip that segment.Meanwhile: is Marc Jacobs going to style Luigi Mangione for his upcoming New York State murder trial? We discuss our favourite courtroom style moments. And lastly… Megxit is over and YouGov is asking “do you care?”. Meghan, if you're listening… you're very welcome to come on the podcast. Enjoy the ep! Love O, R, B x Beth's been loving: Dolly Parton Imagination Library , Furious, Stamptown Oenone's been loving: Fisk Ruchira's been loving: London Falling, Kaynan - Spawn Point Margaret Qualley Barefoot Sandals Is "Kinda Chic" Kinda Cringe?

He also says Tim Curry has died at 80. Other items include Stephen Colbert posting a video, and a New York Post/Page Six report that Christina P performed days after her separation headlines and joked about Tom Segura, with sources saying the material is an older set now read differently.

The 20sth day of the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe.
本期节目与「戏不戏 · 英国舞台季」联合呈现。由英国驻华使领馆与英国旅游局特别策划,英国舞台季邀请您一起探索英国表演艺术的台前幕后,也重新想象艺术如何连接今天的我们。每年8月,爱丁堡整座城市都会变成一座巨大的剧场。超过4000台演出、近300个场地、来自70多个国家的艺术家,让这座城市成为全球规模最大的表演艺术“市场”之一。但最特别的是爱丁堡艺穗节(Edinburgh Festival Fringe)几乎不做传统意义上的“策展”,它不拥有剧场,也不挑选节目,艺术家自己选择场地,场地自己决定演什么,而艺穗节协会更像是一个连接整个生态的“胶水”。本期「贝望录」,Bessie 对话爱丁堡艺穗节 CEO Tony Lankester,从一个“什么都不决定”的艺术节,拆解它究竟如何运转:为什么不策展、不拥有场地,反而能够持续吸引艺术家和观众?艺穗节如何帮助艺术家选择场地、安排演出周期,并在艺术家与场地方发生纠纷时进行调解?平均票价约13英镑、艺术家票务费仅5%,这样一个非商业机构又如何维持自身运营?我们也聊到艺穗节的另一重身份—全球表演艺术的“人才与内容交易市场”。《Taskmaster》《Fleabag》《Baby Reindeer》等作品都曾从这里被发现,大量来自世界各地的制作人、剧院和电视行业人士来到爱丁堡“买内容”。但艺穗节并不从这些成功作品中获得版权或经济分成,它真正经营的,是一个持续让艺术家被看见、让作品被发现的开放平台。Tony谈到“Give anyone a stage and everyone a seat.”的价值观,也谈到一个即将迎来80周年的艺术机构,如何在商业机会与核心原则之间保持平衡。或许,艺穗节真正不可复制的,并不是4000多台演出,而是一套让陌生人面对面、让艺术不断发生、让人与人重新建立连接的社会机制。【本节目由Withinlink碚曦投资协作体出品】【嘉宾】Tony LankesterCEO,Edinburgh Festival Fringe /爱丁堡艺穗节首席执行官【主持】李倩玲 Bessie Lee广告营销行业资深从业者,商业观察者【本期内容提要】01:19 Bessie的节目导览06:05 这是一个庞大却高度去中心化的生态是Tony上任CEO后对爱丁堡艺穗节的第一印象07:27 从1947年8个“不请自来”的剧团说起,Fringe精神如何延续至今?09:15 为什么艺穗节坚持不策展、不偏袒任何艺术家?因为我们不做老板,只做“胶水”11:12 艺术家第一次来艺穗节,主办方如何帮助他们选择场地和演出方式?13:21 艺穗节不只是艺术节,更是全球表演艺术的“交易市场”14:31 没有中央策展,近300个场地如何共同完成节目选择?15:47 一场演一天还是演三周?艺穗节如何根据艺术家的目标给出建议?19:44 谁决定票价?艺穗节为什么坚持贯彻让观众看得起的票价政策?20:47 20年没有涨过注册费的一个非商业机构是如何维持运营的?22:19 “Give anyone a stage and everyone a seat”,艺穗节如何抵抗商业诱惑?23:38 艺穗节的三层营销体系:主办方、场地和艺术家如何各自“吸引观众”?25:52 在4000多台演出中如何被看见?为什么简单的营销反而更有效?27:42 给第一次来爱丁堡的海外艺术家的建议是不要来问CEO,先去问那些来参加过的人28:58 为什么Tony建议艺术家第一次不要急着演出,而是先来“踩点”?30:05 艺穗节如何处理艺术家与场地方的纠纷?32:12 为什么Tony自己看演出时最期待的往往是“事先不知道的东西”?33:05 CEO亲自看戏也会产生“信号效应”,那么他如何避免影响艺术家?36:43 79年后终于有了永久的Fringe Central38:45 从《Taskmaster》《Fleabag》到《Baby Reindeer》:艺穗节如何成为内容发现市场?40:15 艺穗节为什么不从成功作品中分成?平台真正获得的是什么?41:56 一个艺术家被发现靠什么?好作品、支持网络,以及一点运气42:16 “Meet the Media”,艺术家如何在30秒内向媒体推销自己的作品?44:05 有1000名行业人士来到爱丁堡“买内容”,但是艺穗节为什么不收媒介撮合费?44:45 £2500的微型补助是艺穗节帮助没有钱来到爱丁堡的艺术家的一个办法45:48为什么艺穗节不把模式简单复制到其他城市?47:02 “Edinburgh Fringe”品牌如何商业化?开放精神与商业收入如何平衡?47:51 为什么在爱丁堡“一切都可以成为舞台”?49:39 80周年将至,艺穗节未来的战略方向是什么?50:45 数据、技术与AI:一个79年历史的艺术节为什么开始认真拥抱AI?51:34 AI可以替代行政工作,但不能替代与艺术家的真实连接52:06 2.6亿张票背后的数据问题,买票的人和真正看演出的人也许不是同一个人53:12 80周年计划:新的合作、赞助和“Fringe Moment”54:14 79年之后,艺穗节为什么依然强调人与人面对面的连接?55:07 从二战后的1947到今天,在一个冲突不断的世界里,我们为什么仍然需要艺穗节?��Bessie与Tony【后期制作】Jean【收听方式】推荐您使用Apple Podcast、小宇宙APP、喜马拉雅FM、荔枝播客、网易云音乐、QQ音乐、Spotify或任意泛用型播客客户端订阅收听《贝望录》。【互动方式】微博:@贝望录微信公众号:贝望录+商务合作:beiwanglu@withinlink.com

John Ahlin and Christopher Patrick Mullen are the creators and stars of Chip & Gus: A Comedy with Balls, an amazing two hander in which the two title characters resolve the crisis in their relationship while playing ping-pong at the same time. John and Chris discuss how their shared expertise in table tennis and experience as actors led them to create this unique theatrical event; how the play both is and isn't autobiographical; how they navigate “the Wild West of entertainment” that is the Edinburgh Fringe; how, like Harpo Marx playing the harp on screen, the playing of ping pong onstage also requires no acting; what has to happen when you introduce “Chekhov's Balls;” how the characters of a drowning man and the person least qualified to save him became the subject of their play; multiple sport, game, and Sondheim references; comparisons to the RSC's The Complete World of Sports (abridged); and how, in all the years they've volleyed together – both onstage and at table tennis – they've never played a competitive game to win. (Length 23:00) The post Comedies With Balls appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

This week on Parky Profiles, we're speaking to Christopher Lambton, a former voice of the BBC. One of our most dedicated fans, Christopher has listened to every Movers & Shakers episode, and, having found our conversations of good use (his words), wanted to get involved himself. After bumping into Gillian somewhere in and amongst the Edinburgh Fringe throng, he proposed himself a Northern Correspondent, to share with us a miraculous story about the Scottish-based Professor, Stephen Wallace, who has succeeded in making Levodopa out of recycled plastic. Movers & Shakers is brought to you in partnership with Cure Parkinson's.Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer and Sir Nicholas MostynProduced by Lulu Goad and Ewan Cameron for PodotMusic by Alex Stobbs Hosted on Acast.

It's been 15 years since Amanda Knox was released from Italian prison after a court overturned her conviction in the murder of her study-abroad roommate. In the time since, she's become a writer, an activist for the wrongfully convicted, a mother and now, a stage performer. Knox joins us to talk about her one-woman comedy “Cartwheel," which she debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.And, John Leguizamo has had a busy summer. He joins us to talk about it all — from his new children's book to his role in Christopher Nolan's “The Odyssey,” where he wore contacts obscuring his sight to play the blind servant Eumaeus.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
