About this episode

Cally Beaton discusses her transition from corporate executive to comedian and shares insights on her book and experiences in the industry.

This week Marc and Steve are joined by comedian Cally Beaton. Cally explains how she came from a life in corporate boardrooms as an executive for the likes of MTV & Comedy Central to becoming a comedian herself... after some encouragement from a stand-up legend. Plus, Cally recounts nearly passing up the opportunity to get South Park on British TV, giving keynote speaking advice to the likes of Chris Sutton, and how she's channelled her "Namaste Motherf*ckers" approach to life into a successful book and stand-up tour.
