Benny Shakes Things Up

BRAND NEW LIVE COMEDY PODCAST starting tomorrow at 8PM

Join Benny Shakes, Kate Lovelock, Mark Burkwood- and Alex Leam for a cracking night of comedy - with a mission

As many of you know, since lockdown I've been shaking up views on disability throughout 2020, interviewing comedians, presenters and artists about their experiences, which began as a way to connect with other artists

The project has grown and grown – with comedians from across the globe appearing to tell their stories and have a good old shake down of life, coping with the pandemic and how they got into comedy.

Join me this summer for a BI-WEEKLY Podcast where I'll be interviewing comedy geniuses, writers and stars who have contributed incredible pieces of work for radio, screen and stage

Supported by New Art Exchange Nottingham and Ingenious Fools, these interviews will be transcribed to form a basis of research into the challenges faced by disabled people in the arts industries and the positive ways they have overcome these.

This project aims to encourage early career disabled artists to come along, have a laugh, meet like minded people and find out the ins and outs of the industry. Come along to be entertained Benny’s unshakeable personality and offbeat questions!

On this weeks episode we have God the fantastic Kyle Wallce I am really looking forward to this. Here is a bit about him

me in brief: did my degree in psychology, which later lead to my fascination for mindreading magic (the Derren Brown type stuff). Back late 80’s I had a touring illusion act that did lots of big stage illusions. I had two people working for me at that point, one on and one off stage. After our tour van was stolen one night with all our props and costumes in it, I had to overnight downsize my entire show...not an easy task. I started putting more comedy in to fill up the stage time (back then you did 45 minutes on stage), which is where I got into stand-up (my first ever stand-up set was 15 minutes!). I then had my first cancer, so stopped performing for a while. I then did my professional scuba diving qualifications and worked in that for a bit, my favourite job placement being The Maldives. I then wrote a book, a comedy thriller called Dial M For Mascara, while getting back into magic, but this time into the darker, more macabre side of performing. This is called Spirit Theatre and is similar to the Victorian spiritualism movement only with showmanship and much scarier. While doing that I started doing a bit of stand-up again and created G&B with a friend. He couldn’t commit the time to it so backed out after a few months and I kept going. Now in its eighth year, G&B is still going.
