Moving On... Really Really Slowly | Edinburgh Fringe Preview #374

from The Martin Talk Show · host Martin Colton

"Sometimes healing isn't a straight line — it's a slow, slimy crawl through the chaos." 🐌🖤🎙️ Welcome to another electrifying LIVE episode of The Martin Talk Show — the home for bold voices, creative courage, and raw, unapologetic art. I'm your host, Martin Colton, and today’s guest is a force like no other. 💥In this deeply moving and wildly original conversation, I sit down with multi-award-winning comedian Stephen Catling, whose new show “Moving on… really really slowly” takes audiences on a surreal journey through heartbreak, depression, ghosting, and the oddity of being a stand-up slug 🐛🎭. Blending dark comedy with immersive theatre, Stephen uses sketch, clowning, music, props, and raw vulnerability to show, not just talk about, the painful realities of mental health and recovery.From flashlight-wielding oddballs to owl-handed humans, Stephen’s world is bonkers — but behind the wild characters is a real, beating heart 🫀. One shaped by abuse, autistic identity, and the deeply human need to make sense of love and loss. This isn’t just comedy — it’s catharsis, created for anyone who’s ever felt broken, ghosted, or like they were crawling through life at slug speed.🎤 Stephen’s past work “Beehavioural Problems” shook the Edinburgh Fringe, earning nominations from the Malcolm Hardee Award to the Actually Autistic Excellence Award, and he's back with something even braver. This conversation goes beyond laughs — it's a mirror for the messiness of being human.Whether you’re neurodiverse, neurotypical, or somewhere in between — this one’s for the warriors moving through the world at their own pace 💫🎧 Tune in, be moved, and remember: your story matters — even if you tell it slowly.As always, connect with Martin Via: www.themartintalkshow.comTickets: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/moving-on-really-really-slowly#TheMartinTalkShow #StephenCatling #EdinburghFringe2025 #MovingOnReallySlowly #SlugStandup #AlternativeComedy #FringeVoices #MentalHealthAwareness #NeurodiverseComedy #ComedyWithDepth #ArtAndHealing #InConversation #AmplifyingArtists #HeartbreakAndHealing #CreativeCourage #FringeSpotlight #AutisticVoices #DepressionRecovery #GhostingHurts #ClowningWithPurpose #ComedySketches #LivePodcast #PodcastLivestream #MartinColton #Fringe2025 #UnmaskingPain #ComedyAndTheatre #CreativeChangeMakers #EmotionalArt #ArtForMentalHealth #SlugButMakeItFunny
