What would you say to the people you walked away from about your success now?

We've got a special episode of Funny About Marketing with actor, comedian, novelist and playwright Eddy Brimson. Eddy wrote a novella based on his one-man Edinburgh Fringe Festival sensation, Naughty Boy which is out in March 2021. Naughty Boy is a journey from a mental hospital to a hedonistic weekend of sex, drugs and debauchery. If it's anything like his five star one-man show, you'll be in a for a real treat. 

What's an even bigger surprise is Eddy is already a best-selling author who left behind a career as a football writer and documentary filmmaker who authored well-received books and movies about English and international football fan culture. One day, Eddy walked away from that life and became a stand-up comedian. In this interview we talk about the importance and value of letting your old fans know what you're up to and inviting them to be part of your new adventure. 

It's common for people to change their careers and think they need to burn bridges but a lot of followers are happy to make the trip with you if you invite them and educate them along the way. Making contact with your fans years later can be a great way to raise awareness to a lot of others.   

Eddy's book, Naughty Boy is available through his website.
