The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points

Stephen Mangan: "I've got to do the thing I really want to secretly do. And never had the guts to do"


Listen Later

In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats to actor, comedian, author and presenter Stephen Mangan.

Stephen talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life - losing his mother in his early twenties; leaving a career in law to pursue drama; getting his big TV breaks with Adrian Mole, Alan Partridge and Green Wing; and becoming an author later in life.

He talks about people arguing with him in the street over his part in BBC's The Split; his love of theatre and perfecting his art; working with Nicola Walker and Erin Doherty; and why he hates knowing what he's doing in 12 months time.

You can get Stephen's new book 'The Fart That Saved The Universe' here (Waterstones)
