We bring a group of strangers together in a room to ask one question: What is your biggest fear? We're all afraid of something. Some of our fears are relatable, some are completely bizarre. Some have reasoning behind them, but most fears when spoken out loud are revealed as hilariously irrational. We confess our biggest fears and break them down... to try and conquer them, or at least get a laugh out of trying.

    #7 | Flexible Friends

    A fun fact about Fear/Fun host Claire Beck: when she isn't busy asking people the question "what is your biggest fear?" she spends her spare time in the Circus training aerial acrobatics. For this episode, she is joined by two incredibly talented circus artists, Aisling Ní Cheallaigh and Ronan Brady. The tour of their original show How To Square A Circle starts this weekend in Dublin, but they took time out of their busy rehearsal schedule to discuss burning issues such as: how to spin on an aerial hoop really fast without throwing up (Aisling), what it was like getting to the semi finals of Ireland's Got Talent (Ronan), do married people still have sex?, and the fear of getting too comfortable.
