Kind Comedy with Robin Ince

Two Strings & Paint Tins

Show Notes

Writer, comedian and broadcaster Robin Ince talks to Joanna Neary about creative process, making connections and challenging convention. From being kind to audiences and finding inspiration to how a disastrous show led to Robin's favourite production yet, this episode champions finding your own way. Recorded at The Lamb Inn in Eastbourne, home of Joanna’s monthly alternative comedy night, which is hugely inspired by and indebted to Robin’s anarchic legendary Book Club. Made with funding support from Arts Council England. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this eclectic podcast about creativity and finding a way through, host Joanna Neary chats with fellow artist, comedian and writer Anna Keirle about a handful of their common interests. It was meant to be a book review podcast on ‘Don’t Look Now and Other Stories’ by Daphne Du Maurier but they both forgot. The resulting conversation is rather more diverse. From the joy and ease of starting to create, to the rubbishness of being a girl and on finding inspiration from the people around us and the land beneath our feet. A love story to Cornwall, rock pools and finding a way to look after ourselves.
