  • Malfoy, Marvel and Musical Burps with Em Wallbank | How Very Hannah: Episode 11
    Jun 3 2025

    Guys… I am GASSED for today’s episode. But like… actually 🫨🫢


    It’s episode 11 of How Very Hannah and I’m joined by the insanely talented Em Wallbank - fellow content creator, Marvel queen, drama school attendee, and the girl who accidentally went viral doing a flawless Draco Malfoy impression (you know the one 👀).


    We chat about Em’s rise to fame, her dream roles shoutout to Elle Woods and Princess Fiona, and play a game of Marvel or Musicals (one for you film buffs...) before Em helps me uncover a secret talent I didn’t know I possessed, but let me tell you I am THRILLED to have discovered it!


    PLUS: in Hannah’s Hotline we dive into what it really feels like performing while emotionally wobbly – and how we deal with it, mid-show.


    Confession? Dilemma? Burp of your own to share?

  • Audition Rejections, Superstitions & Drama Game Chaos with Jacob Fowler | How Very Hannah: Episode 10
    May 27 2025

    Rejection? I don’t know her….


    Okay fine, I did, but in episode 10 I’m entering my chill era - talking all about flipping the script on audition knockbacks and finally learning not to take every “no” like it’s a personal attack from the West End gods… it’s giving ✨growth✨


    We’re also diving into theatre superstitions (yes, I said Macbeth, and no, I’m not sorry), plus I reminisce on the time MICHAEL JACKSON showed up at Oliver?! I wish I was making it up.


    Oh – and wait… is that someone at the curtain? 👀


    Yep, it’s only Jacob Fowler! He pops in for a beautifully unhinged round of “Guess That Musical Character” that gets chaotic... (obviously!)


    And this week’s Confessions of a Drama Queen involves a very juicy theatre crush!!

  • That’s So Fetch: Theatre Dares & Audition Nerves 💅 | How Very Hannah: Episode 9
    May 20 2025

    It’s a solo episode... or is it? There’s a surprise Mean Girl at the curtain… the incredible Grace Mouat 🎭💅


    In this episode of How Very Hannah, I share some real talk about audition nerves and get into some on-stage mishaps.


    Plus, I delve into a common thing for those pursuing a career in musical theatre - navigating unsupportive parents & family members (eep!)


    And you talked… so we listened - I’m BACK on the streets of London for more dares, but I’ve roped Grace into the chaos 🤭


    We also chat through Grace’s iconic journey on stage - through Six, Legally Blonde, and Mean Girls, PLUS we reminisce about High School Musical, and reflect on what it really takes to build a career in the West End.


    I’d love to get you involved with the show. You can email your Hannah’s Hotline or your Confession of a Drama Queen to:
