About this episode

Tino Orsini discusses his intimate solo show and reflections on his past experiences.

We’ve got a star guest this week! Tino Orsini is a versatile character actor — you might have seen him playing the artist Banksy in Ted Lasso. For his next trick he’ll be on stage performing an intimate solo show about his own dark past. It’s all based around the time he tried to make it in Hollywood. We loved hearing Tino’s reflections on immigration, addiction, sex, family secrets and, of course, showbiz. His new show is called Ghosts of West Hollywood and it’s on 2-7 June at the Et Cetera theatre in London. -Adam + Tash Aunt Nell: Instagram | YouTube | website The Log Books is hosted and produced by Tash Walker and Adam Zmith The assistant producer is Mia Campbell Music from Soundstripe Original artwork by Natalie Doto Thanks to the dreamboats at Acast Seasons 1-3, from 2019-22, were co-produced with Shivani Dave, in partnership with Switchboard.
