Ben Yeoh Chats

Bec Hill is an actor, comedian and writer famous for flip charts with misheard music lyrics. She has a wide array of talents including as a writer, a recent children’s book series: Horror Heights, The Slime and hosting make-away takeaway for children's ITV. She has her own podcast A Problem Squared which she co-hosts with Matt Parker.

We speak about the use of arts and craft in comedy and thinking about children’s comedy. How she found acting as a “straight actor” in David Finnigan’s Kill Climate Deniers.

How she met her partner and how he has helped direct and collaborate on her shows.

How faith helps guide her life. How her ADHD diagnosis has helped her understanding.

That all things can be funny, but do you want to make a joke out of all things? We discuss the right to offend, but think about whether we should make jokes about everything.

The best uses for PVA glue, duct and glitter and her practical advice for aspiring stand-up comics (it’s to do with the microphone).
