Get ready for a conversation that will both challenge and inspire you 🎭✨. In this episode of The Martin Talk Show, recorded live on the vibrant streets of the Edinburgh Fringe, I sit down with the brilliant and fearless Gabrielle Leonore. Known for her bold and unapologetic voice, Gabrielle brings her one-woman comedy My Life as an “Inspirational Porn” Star to the world’s biggest arts festival.

Together, we dive into her journey as a writer, producer, and performer, exploring themes of sex, love, drugs, identity, and the raw realities of life as an autistic bisexual woman 🌈🔥. With humour, vulnerability, and unflinching honesty, Gabrielle shares how her art pushes boundaries and dismantles stereotypes—challenging audiences to see beyond labels and embrace the complexities of being human.

This conversation isn’t just about performance—it’s about courage, resilience, and the power of telling your story in your own voice. Whether you’re an artist, a creative soul, or someone seeking inspiration to break free from expectations, Gabrielle’s journey will leave you questioning, laughing, and reflecting deeply.

Prepare to be transported into a world where art collides with psychology, rebellion, and raw human truth 🎭✨. In this episode of The Martin Talk Show, I, Martin Colton, sit down with the remarkable Desmond Devenish at the heart of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival—recorded live on the vibrant streets of Edinburgh. This conversation dives into the gripping solo performance that unravels the complexities of morality, identity, and power, leaving you questioning where righteousness ends and extremism begins.

Together, we explore how Hitchens—a character forged from law-enforcement training and a controlled upbringing—faces ghosts of the past and the dangerous pull of radical ideologies. With rebellion and moral ambiguity at its core, this piece blurs the lines between hero and villain, placing the audience in the position of judge and jury 👁️⚖️.

What made this show a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me was that I was the only audience member. Imagine the intensity, the intimacy, and the vulnerability of being immersed in a performance designed to challenge every belief and provoke every thought. This episode is more than just an interview—it’s an exploration of art’s power to confront, disturb, and inspire 🌌🔥.

Step into a conversation that will challenge your perspective on fame, identity, and the cost of living in the spotlight 🌟🎭 In this episode of The Martin Talk Show, recorded live at the Edinburgh Fringe on the vibrant streets of Edinburgh, I sit down with the brilliant Ena Begovic—actress, writer, and fearless storyteller. Together, we explore her bold and provocative piece that asks one powerful question: How far would you go for fame?

Through the character of Daisy (@daisy_beautyme), Ena unpacks the dark comedy of an Instagram star ensnared in the fantasy of social media perfection 📱✨ From a betrothal built on subscriber counts to hashtags born from her sister’s secrets, Daisy’s journey is one of obsession, illusion, and the desperate hunger for validation. Beneath the satire lies a story of raw vulnerability, one that invites us all to reflect on our own relationship with attention, performance, and authenticity.

The Reviews Hub called it “a rollercoaster that had us hanging on a hook, then gutted us”—and in our conversation, Ena dives into the heart of why this story matters now more than ever. This isn’t just theatre; it’s a mirror to our times.

Join us in this inspiring and thought-provoking dialogue that dares you to push boundaries and reimagine what creativity and truth really mean 🎤💡
