Surfing the Fringe with Actor/Writer, Erin Hunter

When's the last time you learned a new sport? Moved to a new country? Wrote your own solo show?

This week, I'm speaking with Erin Hunter. Although Erin has acted her entire life, she wrote her first solo show after 35 (in a new country, while learning to surf). And I'm so excited to announce that I'll be producing her show for the Edinburgh Fringe in August.

In this episode, Erin and I talk about ageing as a female actor, her brilliantly funny show, which she wrote and performs in, Surfing the Holyland, and she even puts me in the hot seat to talk about my work producing female-led shows for Slackline Productions.

*"Platty Joobs" was coined by Kiell Smith-Bynoe. My apologies for calling him "Kiell Whatever His Name Is". He's a comedy genius. I probably owe him at least £50.
