The Freestyle Mind

Welcome to The Big Smoke Variety Show! In this episode, “The Freestyle Mind”, we dive into how we can harness our thoughts to find stillness, flow, creativity, and inspiration in the midst of modern chaos. First up, we have Arti Lal, a seasoned meditation teacher and co-ordinator of the Inner Space Meditation Centre in Covent Garden. For over 35 years, Arti has been inspiring individuals to make space for quiet reflection and mindfulness. She leads us in a guided meditation, helping us explore how to find calm amidst the noise of daily life. Next, joining us is Kate Sharp, an incredibly witty comedian and writer based in London. With a clever conversational style and a knack for observational humour. Kate is a rising star in the UK comedy scene and she brings her unique blend of humour and charm to the show.  Finally, we’re joined by LeeN, a master of ceremonies and freestyle rap artist known for his electrifying performances and socially conscious freestyles. Touring with beatboxing champion Beardyman, LeeN is an artist whose improvisational skills shine in live settings.  But the fun doesn’t stop there! We’ve got a new Victorian Parlour Game for you to enjoy and 3 new contestants for a fresh round of Hat Tricks, where contestants battle it out to win fabulous prizes from our sponsor, Hatopia. Our next show, “A Fatal Exit”, features former Ravenmaster Christopher Skaife and historical musicians Emily Baines and Arngeir Hauksson. You can find tickets here!
