This podcast series finds Mark Curry in conversation with a range of guests with a view to asking the main questions - How did you do it? What’s it really like? What’s it like to play a leading role in a West End musical? What’s it like to represent the UK at The Eurovision Song Contest? What’s it like being on Strictly Come Dancing? What does it feel like to become famous? How is your event organised? What’s it like to play on Centre Court?


In each episode, Mark delves into the detail. The process. The discipline required. The challenges and the rewards. These unique, peering under the bonnet conversations give honest authentic insights to the questions we’d all love to ask our fantasy dinner party guests. 


Actor and presenter, Mark Curry, has created this Podcast series called, “Backstage Curry”. Episodes feature, “behind the scenes” chat with performers, broadcasters and creatives. The series is raising funds for, “Acting For Others”, by providing listeners with an opportunity to donate via the charity’s website or donations link. 


Mark, who amongst his many other TV and theatre appearances, completed two 16 month runs as "The Wizard" in the London production of "Wicked", and a 9 month run in "The Woman in Black" in the West End says, “I am fascinated about how other performers prepare for shows and how shows or events are put together. I’m hoping listeners will be interested too and, after listening, will be inspired to donate to, “Acting For Others”, thereby supporting any industry professionals currently facing financial or emotional challenges”. So far, “Backstage Curry”, includes conversations with the current, “Wicked”, leading lady, Alexia Khadime, West End and Doctor Who star, Bonnie Langford. Plus, Debbie McGee talking about her, “Strictly”, experience and singer, Sonia, reminiscing about Eurovision and losing by an agonising one point! Other guests include Harriet Thorpe, Jenny Seagrove, Ruth Langsford, Yvette Fielding, Cheryl Baker, Shakatak and tennis legend Margaret Court.


The Podcast is available wherever you download your podcasts and is produced by Andy Barker.
