BONUS! In Conversation with 'Spike' star Margaret Cabourn-Smith
from Goon Pod · host Goon Pod
In the second of our extra special bonus episodes in the company of stars from the hit show ‘Spike’ – written by Nick Newman and Ian Hislop – Tyler talks to the wonderful Margaret Cabourn-Smith! Margaret can be seen and heard in so much top British TV, radio and podcast comedy over the last twenty years, such as Miranda, Motherland, Psychoville, John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme & Do The Right Thing, and it was a real delight getting to speak to her. She talks about the play and what it’s like creating sound effects on stage in front of an audience, as well as her career, being a comedy obsessive and the nuts and bolts of performing. Naturally the conversation focuses on Spike and the Goons but it does wander off onto other topics – as it the nature of this podcast – including a quite unnecessary digression upon the American sitcom The Ropers. ‘Spike’ is on at the Watermill Theatre in Newbury until 5th March so catch it if you can! https://www.watermill.org.uk/spike Margaret is also launching a brand new podcast – details on the show.
