    River Roux; Strippers, Supermarkets, Stage and Sex work; all roads lead to JUICE !

    This week I had the privilege of speaking to multi faceted, multi dimensional, multi talented human being River Roux! I saw River's show 'Juice' at the Volksbühne Theatre in Berlin and I instantly wanted to speak to her - I was so fascinated   Her show explores the body, her body, an exploration of a gender-non conforming experience and we discuss this, the duality between theatre and sex work and everything that has led her to today and the creation of her art.  I really hope you guys enjoy listening to our fun chat and her incredible journey so far

    Holly James: it's all about the journey...and what a beautiful journey it is

    On this episode I have the pleasure of catching up with stage sensation and old old friend Holly James. A love letter from Broadway to London Holly truly is lightening on stage, you literally cannot take your eyes off her and if you've been lucky enough to see her in a performance you'll know I'm telling the truth!  We talk about her journey from where we both started out, at our school in Covent Garden in the 90's, to Reno...West End and now on to Broadway. It really is all about the journey and what a colourful one it is Holly is in a one woman show at Midnight Theatre in Hudson Yards in 2023!
