Her story is a testament to the human spirit and a powerful reminder that true empowerment comes from within.

Her journey is a call to action for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed, demonstrating that yoga isn’t just a practice for seasoned yogis—it’s for everyone, no matter where you’re starting from.

    A Comedic Debrief on Arthur's Antics | EP 29

    After somehow convincing the legendary Arthur Smith to come on the podcast (we’re still not entirely sure how that happened), Lee and Paul sit down to debrief on the chaos. From Arthur’s outrageous stories of losing bets and singing the Moldovan national anthem in the buff (outside Boots, no less) to how exactly Lee got him on the show—this episode is all about the behind-the-scenes madness. But let’s not forget Lee’s next “brilliant” idea: crash the London Construction Awards to track down comedian Tom Davis and casually hand him a copy of his new comedy script Turf Wars. It could get awkward. Is this the worst plan Lee’s ever had? Probably. But hey, at least we’ll have more material for the podcast when it inevitably goes wrong! Join us for some laughs, a lot of cringing, and a sprinkling of delusional optimism. 🎧 #ArthurSmith #MindCakePodcast #TurfWars #DesperateButDetermined #TomDavisWatchOut #PodcastHijinks #SelfDeprecationAtItsFinest

    In this episode of Mind Cake, Lee Crompton and Paul Beeson welcome the indomitable Arthur Smith, comedian, writer, and self-proclaimed grumpy old man. Known for his role as the backward bar manager in Red Dwarf, Arthur shares his experiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where he's been a fixture since 1977. He reminisces about the evolution of the festival, from university review groups to the present-day stand-up comedy scene, and the rise of personal storytelling, particularly around mental health. Arthur candidly discusses his own journey with sobriety after a life-changing health scare and reflects on how it has impacted his comedy career. He shares anecdotes from his storied career, including the infamous bet that led him to sing the Moldovan national anthem naked outside Woolworths. Arthur also touches upon the unique relationship between comedy and mental health, exploring the cathartic power of humour in confronting life's absurdities. Join Lee and Paul for a conversation filled with laughter, introspection, and a touch of rebellion, as Arthur reveals the wisdom gained from a lifetime of comedy. 00:00:00 " If you love the show, please hit that follow button 00:00:48 " Mind cake podcast about our mental health with Lee Crompton and Paul Beeson 00:02:40 " This week I shall mostly be doing anecdotes about spirit guides 00:03:36 " Arthur Smith says he stopped drinking after suffering from pancreatitis 00:09:26 " What do you think has changed most about the Edinburgh festival in the last decade 00:14:14 " Tony bet me he could beat Moldovan footballers at tennis 00:17:00 " Paul Beeson can't make it tonight because he's rehearsing in Edinburgh 00:19:52 " Your comedy often blends humour with a more reflective theme 00:21:26 " People become comedians partly, I think, because it's a way of laughter 00:25:53 " Arthur says being faced with mortality can be a double edged sword 00:32:04 " You probably came across as quite boring to Arthur Miller because you were hungover 00:32:46 " The actor who plays Rebus is called Richard Rankin 00:35:39 " There's, there's a.
