RICHARD CRAWFORD - Aspiring Actor to Secret Theatre Founder

The Book Of Firsts - A podcast by Emma Tindall - Thursdays

This weeks guest is the multi talented director, writer and performer Richard Crawford.Though beginning his acting career at the age of 18 at the Edinburgh Fringe, it took Richard the majority of his twenties to fully find his feet in the arts world. Taking time out to travel, Richard journeyed around the world before returning to London with a new found perspective, drive and desire to pursue his acting career.What followed were several hard years of grafting, auditions, stand up comedy gigs and rejections before Richards big move to New York at the end of his twenties, where his creative cogs finally began to set the wheels in motion. Richard is now a Director, writer and performer having founded the award winning Secret Theatre company, putting on shows around the world. Richard and I chat all things travelling, taking that scary leap into the creative industry, being broke, refusing to ‘grow up’ and how focussing on the smaller wins you achieve can actually propel you on to something you never expected to happen...
