S2 #09 'Velvet & Valour'; Hosting My First Show!

About this episode

Lucy Wylde shares her experience hosting her first burlesque and cabaret show, reflecting on artistry and human connection.

Two days ago on Sunday May 3rd I hosted my first ever show. A burlesque and cabaret show featuring poetry also. It was an AMAZING night! And one where I felt, for the first time as a full grown woman, really supported. The night was full to the brim with artistry, human connection, honest conversations and life-affirming magic... I am so deeply grateful and proud of myself. So in case it helps anyone else (as well as myself to document it) I wanted to share a bit about my experience. In this episode I speak about: just listen :) Themes: burlesque, humanness, motherhood, domestic abuse recovery I mention Zoe Charles, my partner Roly Starr, Ioana Marinca, The Three Guineas pub in Reading At the end, I read two limericks written by me. Did you enjoy this episode? If so, I would really appreciate it if you could please leave a review on the platform that you listen.
