    The Value of a Vision Board (with Anastasiya Ador)

    This week I'm joined by Anastasiya Ador: actor, writer, character comedian and vision board enthusiast. I was looking to make new connections in the UK because I'm travelling there in July, little did I know that it would be our most globetrotting episode yet. Our story goes from Minsk to Mumbai as Anastasiya talks about growing up in Belarus before moving to India as a teenager. We cover the Indian indy movie scene, discovering comedy in the UK, the power of making a vision board, and so much more.

    What If Macbeth Was a Thirteen Year Old Child Star? (with Yve Blake)

    This week I'm joined by the brilliant Yve Blake! Yve has long been one of my dream guests. She is a writer for film, TV, and stage - her show Fangirls was a smash hit that went from Belvoir to the Sydney Opera House to London.

We also discuss the early years of Yve's career starting out making one-woman-shows at Fringe festivals before Fangirls changed everything. We explore boundaries, burn-out, and keeping things funny deep into rehearsal. Follow @yveblake Follow your host, @marcelthecomedian Follow The Comedy Writers Group on instagram and join the patreon.
