The Succulent Podcast

Amy Stephenson-Yankuba

Succulent Theatre brings you 'The Succulent Podcast' - the recorded musings of the all-female theatre company at the precipice of the burgeoning autobiographical theatre revolution.

Creating theatre from their own lives, running a business and trying to educate the next generation on loving themselves are not easy things to juggle, but they're managing it.

Each episode, they're tasked with plucking stories from deep within their respective minds...

All around a randomly generated topic or theme that they don't get to pick - guaranteeing some new, exciting and surprising tales every single episode. Ooh, exciting.

Expert storytellers, entertainers and chronically strange life-havers, the Succulent Theatre girls completely rip the lid off the kind of things most people wouldn't dare to utter.

Expect embarrasingly toe-curling, vomit-inducing shaggy-dog stories, unbridled cackling and some deep, deep chats, homies.

(She is Black.))Hold onto your knickers as we continue to assault your eardrums with toe-curling moments that we haven't *quite* lived down just yet AND others that we are choosing to embrace the awkwardness of, and celebrate wholeheartedly.

Shame (Part One)

Shame (Part One)

What leaves Rio red-cheeked? What makes Kat feel self-Konscious? When does Amy feel appalled by herself?All this and PLENTY of embarrassing/hilarious confessions to listen to in this ep.I wonder what flew out of Kat's bag on the tube and landed in the lap of the poor lady sitting next to her...?There's only one way you can find out. 😏(We had so many shameful moments, we had to split this one in two!) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fair warning - we shout over each other a lot. Which is really a cornerstone of friendship. (Well of ours, anyway.)We discuss what friendship means to us, what makes a good friend, losing friends, gaining friends, and briefly touch on *the incident* at Edinburgh Fringe.Lots of laughter, lots of nagging, and a lot of lurrrve.(And some more of Rio (and Amy, briefly) chewing, unfortunately.)Sorry we kept you waiting loves. x Hosted on Acast.

Amy gets pooed on in the first 2 minutes. We're back in the garden with a few cold glasses of soda pop enjoying the heatwave and sweating bullets. We discuss some of our habits, where we think they might have come from and quickly get derailed into sharing a plethora of embarassing (and very entertaining) stories. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join the Nasty Girls in the garden, where we introduce ourselves and chat a bit about why we do what we do. A great one to pop on in the background while you squeeze your spots/pluck your nip hairs/have a snack. (We promise Rio isn't eating the whole time for anyone who hates mouth eating noises.) There will be uninvited dogs, univited aircraft, and an univited but inevitable hangover. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
