  • Episode 121: Rose Matafeo on flaws, finding the funny and Baby Done

    Rose Matafeo is one of the hottest comedians on the planet having won awards, recorded a stand-up special and chalked up a raft of TV and film appearances across the planet.


    The pride of New Zealand now stars in the superb Baby Done - exec produced by Taika Waititi - available to watch across digital platforms from 22 January. Rose plays Zoe, who becomes pregnant to her long-term boyfriend. But is this really what Zoe really wants? As with many great comedies, this tugs at the heartstrings one moment, before having you laugh uproariously the next.


    Rose can also be seen in stand-up special Horndog on BBC Three in March and new series Starstruck, on BBC Three and HBO Max later in the year.

  • Episode 120: BOSH! on veganism, Veganuary and making changes in your life

    Our dear friends the BOSH! boys are BALANCE's first-ever repeat podcast guests - it's minor podcasting history for us here at BALANCE.


    The boys are on glorious form and share their tips for attempting veganism. Indeed, if you're trying Veganuary - or simply trying to be more vegan - then this is the episode for you. And even if you're not then it's always an entertaining listen with Ian Theasby and Henry Firth - aka BOSH.


    Their new book - Speedy BOSH! - is out now. And you can find out more here.

  • Episode 119: Lloyd Griffith on the need for more working-class voices, anxiety and life on the road

    We welcome one of the funniest acts on the stand-up circuit - Lloyd Griffith - to the BALANCE podcast.


    Lloyd is going on tour. When? Well, that's down to the ol' Panny D. We would strongly recommend getting a ticket for a night of belly laughs. Lloyd's site is here.


    Lloyd is on very candid form as he talks anxiety, mental health, what life is REALLY like on the road and so much more. And, yes, the language is a little fruity so perhaps not one to play in front of the nippers...


    Also, as I say in the intro, if you're doing veganuary, then BALANCE wishes you well. Good luck!


    If you could rate, review and subscribe, then it all helps like you would not believe! We are at the socials on @balanceLDN

  • Episode 117: Heidi Lynch on Avocado Toast and the magic of making things happen

    Heidi Lynch was an auditioning actor - go for parts in the hope you might land them. And then, who knows what?


    And then the affable Canadian had an epiphany: surely it makes more sense to create things myself?


    Fast forward and we have new hit show Avocado Toast - available to watch now on Amazon Prime (in the UK, at least).
