From Phoneshop to Southend United | Martin Trenaman

He shares behind-the-scenes insight into breaking into cult British comedy and working in television.The conversation also turns to football, as Martin talks passionately about his love for Southend United, his hopes of promotion back to the Football League this season, and his memories of the play-off final last year, reflecting on what that run meant to the club and its supporters.Beyond the South Stand is supported by MasterSeal and Pye Design and is part of the talkSPORT Fan Network.A perfect blend of football fandom, acting stories and honest insight — don’t forget to like, subscribe and comment with your favourite Martin Trenaman role or Southend United memory.#BeyondTheSouthStand #BeyondTheBarclay #MartinTrenaman #SouthendUnited #Phoneshop #TheInbetweeners #BritishComedy #NonLeagueFootball #FootballFans #FootballPodcast #TalkSPORTFanNetwork #YouTubeFootball Hosted on Acast.
