FAMEHUNGRY: The Podcast

Everybody wants to be famous. Right???

Or maybe we just want to be seen. Loved. Admired. Paid.

In a world obsessed with visibility, celebrity and turning ourselves into walking brands, what does it actually mean to be successful? And what happens when you dedicate your life to making art, only to discover that recognition doesn't necessarily pay the rent?

Award-winning cult British performance artist Louise Orwin has spent fifteen years making experimental theatre on the fringes of culture. Now she's asking whether those fringes love her back.

In The FAMEHUNGRY Podcast, Louise gets up close and personal with artists, comedians, performers, sex workers and cultural provocateurs to investigate fame, ambition, money, power, failure and the economics of being seen.

Coming this season: acclaimed theatre-maker Tim Crouch, musician and performer Charlene Kaye, comedian and presenter Matt Richardson, legendary performance artist Ursula Martinez, and broadcaster and former I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant Iain Lee, who gets brutally candid about the highs and lows of fame, addiction and life after the spotlight.

Plus plenty more artists with complicated relationships to success.

Expect uncomfortable confessions, outrageous stories, existential crises and some very questionable behaviour.

The FAMEHUNGRY Podcast launches 28 October 2026.

New episodes weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.

ABOUT LOUISE ORWIN

Louise Orwin is an award-winning performance artist, writer and director who has spent the past fifteen years making work about the things we're not supposed to talk about. Her provocative, genre-defying performances explore gender, power, identity and the strange ways we behave in front of one another. Her work has toured internationally, frequently involving uncomfortable questions, audience participation and situations that probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
