What happens when a childhood crush becomes the unexpected map to understanding who you really are? 🎭✨

In this Edinburgh Fringe preview episode of The Martin Talk Show, host Martin Colton sits down with comedian, actor and writer Winnie Stack to explore her solo show @Jenna, a funny, honest and deeply personal coming-of-age story built from childhood diaries, home videos, digital memories and the beautifully awkward mess of growing up.

@Jenna takes audiences inside Winnie’s younger self, where obsession, identity, performance, first love and self-discovery all collide. From the spark of a gay awakening to the strange power of looking back at who we once were, this conversation celebrates the courage it takes to turn private memories into public art.

Martin and Winnie discuss the making of the show, the vulnerability behind sharing unedited childhood journal entries, the comedy found in embarrassment, and why stories about first crushes can open the door to something much bigger: self-acceptance. 🌈📓

This is a conversation for anyone who has ever looked back at their younger self and thought, “I wish I could give them a hug.” It is funny, tender, theatrical and full of the kind of creative honesty that sits right at the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe.

@Jenna runs at the Edinburgh Fringe from 5–30 August at 7pm at C venues Aquila studio.

The Martin Talk Show is about in-depth conversations with artists and creatives across theatre, arts, music, dance, film and more. My incredible guests don’t just chat; they explore their chosen art, encouraging you to push boundaries and unlock the true potential of your creativity.
