The Green Man PodcastShow Notes
What do you get if you invite 2 comedians to Einstein's Garden…? A rather joyous walk-around exploring covering chicken's personalities and renewable energy.
The Green Man podcast team take a walk beyond the Helter Skelter to the secret Wishbone tent to speak to drag artists Dolly Trolley and Rhys' Pieces about their performance at Green Man 2025.
Broadside Hacks find sanctuary under a shady tree to discuss the evolution of their tribute to Bob Dylan.
Adam Flood is an award-winning comedian and (failed) musician. The Times ‘Top 3 Rising Stars of the Fringe’ 2023, Most Outstanding Show in the Amused Moose Comedy Awards 2023. The Stoke-on-Trent comic blends standup with sounds and music to deliver everyday observations and existential malaise.
Find her up and down the aisles or going rusty upturned in a ditch, Dolly Trolley is a Yorkshire-born drag queen based in London who is completely bonkers, utterly delightful and always at 100mph. Now entering her ninth year of drag, she’s become a household name of the UK drag and cabaret scene, known for high energy acts, fierce dance moves, hilarious parodies, and rip-roaring hosting. She’s a versatile performer full of surprises, commonly reviewed: “I’m exhausted just from watching”. She’s a regular feature of the UK’s top cabarets, been featured on BBC Breakfast, taught celebs how to walk in heels on SkyOne, and performed in theatres, stages and festivals across Europe. Dolly is the world’s leading drag fitness instructor (self-titled but unchallenged) with her famous Drag Aerobics classes, reaching online global fame during covid lockdowns.
Rhys’ Pieces is a London based, international, award-winning queer performance artist, drag performer, cabaret producer and burlesque artist who has been making waves in the city's vibrant arts scene for the past 8 years. Rhys’ Pieces uses their art to explore issues of gender, sexuality, identity and race creating work that is both political and fun. You're going to want a Piece of Rhys.
It feels like the year of Bob, with Timothée Chalamet appearing as the grizzled luminary on the big screen — and London-based collective, record label, and promoter Broadside Hacks are capitalising on that with their Dylan tribute event, with Clara Mann, Spitzer Space Telescope and special guests in the mix. Known for encouraging a faithful yet freeing new wave of folk music that repurposes tradition, Broadside Hacks are no strangers to honouring artists with special themed events: The Pogues and legendary Soho folk club Les Cousins have also been celebrated by their eclectic gang of musicians and contributors.
