To launch us into action we have not just one, but TWO Edinburgh Fringe Festival Roundtable episodes! In late July I sat down with two pairs of actor/writer/comedians to discuss their upcoming Edinburgh Fringe adventures. Through our chats we discuss what led them to work in the arts, the highs and lows of the Fringe experience and the self-care/community communication tips they have learnt along the way to help themselves & others have the most fun possible! In Episode Part 1, I chat to the fabulous Jen Wakefield & Joz Norris!**PLEASE NOTE - I relay some advice from the legendary Karamo Brown (Culture Expert on the TV series Queer Eye, & TV host, author & activist) at 51.25 on this episode. I am very embarrassed to say I get his name wrong TWICE. My correction is also WRONG. Huge apologies to listeners and Karamo himself, and hope you don’t mind that I kept it in in order to pass on his/your wonderful wisdom!**-----------------------------------------------------------If you’ve been affected by anything we’ve talked about on our podcast today, here are some resources for you to seek the help you need.Mind Mental Health CharityConfidential Mind Infoline: 0300 123 3393 (9am – 6pm Mon – Fri excl. bank holidays)www.mind.org.uk SamaritansConfidential 24 hour helpline 365 days of the week: 116 123 www.samaritans.orgYoung MindsFor parents or carers worried about a child or young person’s welfare: 0808 802 5544 www.youngminds.org.uk NELFT NHS Foundation Trust Serving communities in Barking, Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.
