- Performing Arts
In this episode, I catch up with a true gem of the cabaret world: variety artist, juggler, comedian, the extraordinary gentleman, Mat Ricardo.
A key figure in the international cabaret scene, Mat started out as a street performer in Covent garden, where he honed his craft, blending astonishing feats, with quick wit and sharp suits.
Mat is multi-award-winning, taking his act all over the world, where he’s had had residencies in legendary venues, been on numerous tv shows and recently had a role in a Hollywood film. When we chatted had just finished touring his new show which he’d taken to the Edinburgh fringe.
Alongside performing, Mat is a writer, speaker and photographer, and I really enjoyed his YouTube channel during lockdown and his podcast, Imagination and Junk, all about the creative process.
It was an honour to spend time talking to Mat as I’ve been such a fan for many years, and this episode of full of his incredible stories, wit, humour. Enjoy!
Thanks to Joe Bailey for the intro/outro music, Sam Murphy for the cover art and you for listening!
