In anticipation of the hugely popular Shrewsbury International Comedy Festival, we bring you a comedy star of serious calibre — Cally Beaton!
In this episode, Alex speaks with Cally about her fascinating journey from the world of corporate TV, where she worked with major names like MTV and Comedy Central, to the bold mid-life leap she made into stand-up comedy.
Now an accomplished comedian, Cally is touring a hugely popular show, hosts the sharp and hilarious podcast Namaste Motherfckers*, and has a book of the same name on the way. The podcast features an impressive lineup of guests, and the upcoming book promises the same wit, insight and bite.
You can explore everything Cally is up to — pre-order the book, catch up on podcast episodes, and grab tour tickets — via her website: https://callybeaton.com/
To secure your tickets for events across the festival, head over to the Shrewsbury International Comedy Festival website: https://sicfest.co.uk/
Huge thanks to Cally for being a fantastic guest, and a special shoutout to Nev Street for pulling this together — it was a scramble, but we made it happen!
