S4 Ep3: Mary O'Connell
My guest this episode is Mary O’Connell - standup comedian, television developer, previous holder of the creative residency at Baby Cow, writer for ITV2’s The Emily Atack Show and The Now Show on Radio 4, and noted clowning enthusiast. Speaking at the Edinburgh Fringe back in August, we talk about finances, fighting against being pigeonholed, haunted pubs, TV commissioning trends, identity in comedy, and the joy of silly jokes.
