This week, Mo sits down with one of the most unique minds in comedy – the incredible Nina Conti.

From growing up in an acting dynasty to becoming one of the world’s most celebrated ventriloquists, Nina opens up about the unexpected journey that led her to comedy, the struggles of finding her true voice, and why her puppet monkey might actually know her better than she knows herself.

The pair dive into the pressures of following in famous footsteps, bombing in Edinburgh, creating comedy that feels authentic, and the strange freedom that comes from hiding behind a character. Nina also reveals the emotional story behind her award-winning film, her experiences performing inside a giant monkey suit, and why she plans on taking Monkey with her into the afterlife.
