The Day I Died

Writers and comedians Kathleen Hughes and Richard Brown are your guides as we explore how it feels when live performance doesn't quite go to plan! Each episode we'll speak to someone in the arts and capture the 'you had to be there' moments that wouldn't make it into a Netflix special.

The belated Fringe debrief

Kathleen and Richie pick apart their 2025 Fringe runs and discuss what can be learned from work in progress shows, how to manage the temperature of a venue and the best roast battle line ever.
