39: Ellie Gibson

Ellie Gibson is an award-winning journalist, presenter, stand-up comedian and co-host of the phenomenal Scummy Mummies podcast. Ellie very kindly invited us around to the Gibson house for a natter about all things BLANK. We started by talking about preparing for a live tour and Edinburgh Fringe, and the incredible success of Scummy Mummies and the podcast movement in general. Ellie told us about her early career as a video games journalist and the challenges of working in such a male dominated industry. We discussed how Ellie met her comedy partner Helen Thorn and then entering into the precarious world of stand-up and the hottest topic of all, which is better, Sonic or Mario?!
