This week on the show, I chat with the wonderful Poppy Mee! Actor, theatre maker, writer and clown.

Fresh off the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Poppy talks about how cabaret strips away the rules and gives performers space to actually bloom. It’s raw, messy, and all about real connection with an audience, the kind of honesty actors are usually told to hide.

We dive into her solo show Psychopomp, born from an existential spiral and turned into something funny, profound, and beautifully interactive. It’s about death, legacy, and asking yourself: what story will you tell the boatman?

At the core of our chat is a moment every actor will relate to. Realising “if I don’t call myself an actor, no one else will.” We talk about that shift from waiting to be picked to finally owning your identity as an artist.

You’re gonna get a lot out of this one.
