About this episode
This week's interview is with the delightful and dynamic musical comedy duo Colin Craig and Alia Vryens, otherwise known as Pick Up, which they describe as Kylie Minogue's Tinder account meets Freddie Mercury's Grindr account. Catch them performing at Perth Fringe and MICF in 2018!!
We discuss: Their background in theatre and learning the ropes of the comedy community, Colin and Alia's experiences with mental health issues, the Rocky analogy and finding your own way to measure success, job titles in the Arts and how we self-identify, the Fail Faster mantra and the First Pancake Theory, ways to manage mental health, views on medication, support from the Arts community, issues with body image and being our own worst critics, Alia and Colin's super powers, how to accept compliments, and their messages to recognise your achievements and efforts, and remember that emotions and bad experiences don't last forever so ride them out.
