Welcome, everyone, to the first of our festive uploads of Blue Balloon Theatre's podcast!

In this episode we chat to the brilliantly funny, David Allen, about all things theatre and acting. It really is a deep dive into technique and what it means to be an actor, especially a character actor!

David Allen is an actor/producer with 14 years experience in the professional theatre network. In that time he has been through the typical highs and lows from the industry. From performing in historical venues such as The Blackpool North Pier to performing fringe shows to audiences of three. From enduring his nightmares of TIE touring to enjoying the joys of taking his own collaborative shows on the road.

David has also built great friendships with many performers including Blue Balloon Theatre's very own Rebecca Phythian. Together they performed side by side for three pantomimes at Salford Arts Theatre.

David is also now part of Precarious Theatre where he starred and co- produced their new show Conversion at The Lion & Unicorn Theatre.

What a pleasure it was to have David on the podcast and we hope you enjoy listening to it too!

See you next Friday for another episode of the Blue Balloon Theatre podcast!
