We chat to the marvellous Maureen Younger. She is a stand up comic, compere, actor, radio presenter and writer for magazines such as Standard Issue, Her Edit and the website for acting professionals, Spotlight.

She is known for her frank, fast, feisty, sharp and engaging – honest humour with attitude! She works as a stand up comedian and compere all around the UK and abroad and even gigs in German!. Here is an overview of what we discussed:

[[01:56]] How she got started in comedy

[[05:33]] How the same reason someone doesn't like you is the very reason someone else loves you

[[11:52]] The audience give you permission on what you can’t or can say

[[14:13]] The problems with mcing too much

[[19:38]] How having experience in acting, comedy and comedy club promoter shaped her

[[29:26]] Finding your voice

[[35:00]] How did running an all-female comedy show changed her approach to comedy
