What Gets Better? | Edinburgh Fringe Preview #379

from The Martin Talk Show · host Martin Colton

🎙️ “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” — Rumi ✨Welcome to Episode 379 of The Martin Talk Show with me, your host Martin Colton, where we continue to amplify the voices of change makers through fearless, in-depth conversations 🎧💥. In this powerful and heart-opening episode titled “What Gets Better”, I’m joined by the extraordinary Tomás Bepalo — a bold, brilliant voice on the Fringe scene whose dark comedy pulls no punches 🎭🔥.Tomás brings us into the raw, unfiltered depths of their world as a neurodivergent, nonbinary storyteller, navigating the often-chaotic intersections of identity, desire, family and mental health. Their Edinburgh Fringe show is as much a comedy as it is a candid mirror held up to life’s contradictions. Through stand-up, storytelling and clowning, Tomás unpacks the emotional terrain of late diagnoses, testosterone journeys, dysphoria, and the deep ache of loneliness — all while making you laugh with lines like “I put the ‘T’ in Testosterone” 💉😂🌈.This isn’t just about the show — it’s about what it means to own your story, to find humour in the hurt, and to remind ourselves that while life may not get easier, we get stronger, sharper, and more ourselves 💪❤️‍🔥.Tune in for a conversation that’s messy, moving, and unmissable. 🎤 Whether you’re queer, creative, or simply human — this one’s for you. 🌀💬👇 Watch, like, comment, and subscribe — and join us on this journey of radical truth, resilience and creativity.As always, connect with Martin Via: www.themartintalkshow.comTickets: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/tom-s-bepalo-what-gets-better #TheMartinTalkShow #TomásBepalo #WhatGetsBetter #NeurodivergentVoices #NonbinaryArtist #EdinburghFringe2025 #DarkComedy #QueerCreatives #StandUpAndSpeak #LateDiagnosis #TestosteroneJourney #ClowningWithPurpose #TransVoicesMatter #MentalHealthAwareness #LaughterAndLoneliness #QueerStorytelling #AmplifyingArtists #FringeFestivalSpotlight #CreativeConversations #LivedExperience #AuthenticVoices #ComedyWithDepth #NavigatingIdentity #QueerHumour #ArtAndHealing #MessyMagic #DysphoriaDiaries #InTheirOwnWords #RadicalHonesty #FringeUnfiltered #PodcastWithPurpose
