About this episode
Adam Buxton interviews Ayoade Bamgboye about her experiences and views on performance and audience connection.
Adam talks with Nigerian writer/performer Ayoade Bamgboye about winning the 2025 Best Newcomer award at the Edinburgh Fringe, what determines her accent switching, her conservative upbringing, subsequent radicalisation and why she no longer wants her audiences to feel bad. And at Castle Buckles, an unseasonably warm day brings creepy guests.
