Lucy Hopkins is a clown and intergalactic soul explorer. I'm not sure quite how to describe her. I first met her at her show SCRT CRCL that was on at midnight every night of the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A ceremony of stupidity and permissiveness and laughter, all delivered in The Magical Spiegelyurt. I fell in love instantly with the show and probably went 5 nights in a row. Lucy and I catch up and talk about everything firstly in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh (until we got thrown out) and then in Greyfriar's Kirk - where they tried to throw us out.

This episode's word is: SPACE(s) - a continuous area or expanse which is free, available, or unoccupied.
Before that I talk about the tour, last week's gigs, inclusivity in music/art and having temporomadibular joint dysfunction. Links to merch, patronage, tour and social media below.
