Unlikely Friends - Episode 4 - William Shakespeare (Michelle Brasier) & Coco Chanel (Claire Hooper)

from Unlikely Friends · host Damian Callinan

Having met for the first time whilst hosting the Regional NSW Finals of the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge in Dubbo, William Shakespeare (Michelle Brasier) & Coco Chanel (Claire Hooper) forged a friendship that bent historical timelines. From performing beat poetry together in Glasgow to shooting a cockney version of Coco Chanel’s life for Netflix, Big Bad Willy & Big Baggy Lady Pants were each other’s reciprocal muses. Hear how Coco workshopped some of Bill’s better known quotes & how Shakey brought Crocs on to the Chanel runways in Paris. But listener be aware, the Bard’s language gets fruity when the host makes the mistake of mentioning Marlowe.Thanks for reading The Complete Perks of Damian Callinan!
