The Musical Theatre Agent Whose Agency Didn't Exist!

Hey there you rats!We soldier on into another week of pretending we aren’t hosting the biggest music-theatre-loser-pod of all time as Mel finally shares the long (one week) awaited story of the agent from hell! This story is absolutely WILD so get ready because what we are about to tell you, you will absolutely lose your minds over.This then leads into chats about the industry as a whole and just how vulnerable it can be when auditioning / when you put faith in the industry and it lets you down.We then launch a brand new segment called ‘Grass Rats!’ - aimed at showcasing grassroots projects whether they be theatre, music, film, tv, dance - whatever! We are very passionate about underground work, emerging work etc and thought it would be a perfect segment to throw in every now and again when there’s an artist working on something and we wanna shine a spotlight on them for a sec! Today we are joined by Leigh Lule, writer and actor in the new TikTok series ‘Ceebs’. We chat all about this project and much more, so stick around to the end of the ep for this!Thanks so much you hunnies and see you next week!Mel & SamLINK TO CEEBS : https://www.tiktok.com/@ceebsseriesLINK TO LIVE POD: https://cheerfulearful.podlifeevents.com/festival/ratbag-with-mel--sam---live-from-cheerful-earful-podcast-festival-4-oct-2025-tickets—Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.Treaties were never signed.
