52 - Rik Carranza Interview

Lee is joined by stand up comedian and Edinburgh Fringe Festival regular, Rik Carranza to discuss his Star Trek and Star Wars fandom and his two shows that are packing in audiences at this years festival.Firstly Star Trek v Star Wars where Geek culture collides in a fight to see which is better: a galaxy far, far away or the final frontier. Hosting this passionate, explosive and heartfelt panel show, Rik  brings together different guests every day in this battle for sci-fi superiority. The panel enthuse, defend, debate – but the audience decide. In addition to his panel show, Rik also has a more personal show, I’m A Fan. Rik ask how far would you go to fit in? What happens when you deny the very thing that defines you? In this deeply personal show, Rik revisits a past that forced him to choose between embracing his passions or bowing to the expectations of others. A story about love, life, death and Star Trek. We’ve also got a special preview of next weeks interview when Rik shares with me about a special guest who appeared during this years show.You can find Rik on Twitter - @rcarranza I'm A Fan -https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/rik-carranza-i-m-a-fanStar Trek V.
