“I was invited to go to this theatre in Wolverhampton and I'm always a little bit nervous about going to places where I'm not entirely sure how the show is going to land…and it ended up just being such a fun show and the audience was so giving and so generous. That kind of restored my faith in humanity a little bit because these people who had probably just seen it in a brochure had just taken a chance on it. And I think sometimes you get into this bubble that it's, either you do it in Edinburgh or London and then regional touring is a waste of time but I have such a different view on it.” Latest episode is with Comedian Rosalie MinnittWe talk about her character creation Clementine and Clementine’s Valentine’s Day show on Radio 4 as well as the differences between playing Clementine on stage and on Radio.We also discuss Rosalie’s experience of the Edinburgh Fringe as well as the challenges and joys of taking Clementine on tour at theatres across the country.Website: https://rosalieminnitt.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosalieminnitt/ Live Shows: https://linktr.ee/rosalieminnitt Clementine Valentine’s Day Special on Radio 4: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002rdb9 Find More about ‘Making Creativity Pay’Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingcreativitypay/ Making Creativity Pay Newsletter: https://makingcreativitypay.substack.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjbarnett/

"It's a small town girls misadventures in Hollywood. And it is both poignant and funny. I think of the essays as like crepes. They're kind of like individually snackable, but collectively filling.What I love about the essay format is it's kind of propulsive and you move through it with the momentum that I really appreciate as a reader. And so I wanted to write the book that way."- Author and Podcaster Courtney Kocak, we talk about her upcoming book Girl Gone Wild, a memoir based on a series of essays covering “Tales of ambition, delusion, drugs, sex, and misogyny... including selling T-shirts on the Girls Gone Wild bus”As well as the book we also talk about Courtney’s varied career, from performing as a stand-up, writing for an animated comedy show as well as her extensive career in podcasting including her show Private Parts Unknown which has had over 2 million downloads and her newsletter Podcast Bestie which is full of ways to make the most of your podcast.Website:  https://www.courtneykocak.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/courtneykocak/ Girl Gone Wild: US: https://bookshop.org/p/books/girl-gone-wild-courtney-kocak/ UK: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/girl-gone-wild-courtney-kocak/18ae2cd0ad59de93 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PrivatePartsUnknown Private Parts Unknown Podcast: https://pod.link/1154304419 The Bleeders Podcast: https://pod.link/1628014529 Podcast Bestie Substack: https://podcastbestie.substack.com/welcome Find More about ‘Making Creativity Pay’Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingcreativitypay/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjbarnett/ Making Creativity Pay Newsletter: https://makingcreativitypay.substack.com/
