Episode description

Merry Christmas! In this bonus Festive episode of Benjy's Cafe Podcast, Ben is joined by the actor & Pantomime Dame, Jamie Riding.

In this uplifting chat, Jamie discusses the impact of living with Asperger's Syndrome & his pride in inspiring others with Asperger's. He shares his story from being terrified of theatre to becoming one of the UK's leading Pantomime Dames.

Ben & Jamie discuss the art of playing Dame, including the legacy of John Inman, the importance of relaxed performances for audiences & the joy of making people smile.

He reflects on the importance of family support, manners & kindness; plus the beautiful impact of theatre & puppetry on all ages.

And Jamie's excitement for his role this year as Mrs Smee in Peter Pan at Weymouth Pavilion.

Jamie's enthusiasm for life is infectious. It's a wonderful conversation.

Grab a mince pie & enjoy listening.
