#9 David Mumeni

In this special Christmas episode, Lucy's speaks to David Mumeni. Originally an actor, famous for his roles in 'Stath Lets Flats' and 'Dead Pixels', he is also the founder of Open Door, an organisation that helps talented young people who do not have the financial means to gain a place at one of the UK's leading drama schools. As well as discussing his favourite speech, NSFW by Lucy Kirkwood, and its relation to the first year of Open Door, David talks about diversity within the industry, how you can never judge what's going to be a success and what isn't, and the frustrating and proud aspects of being a mixed race Iranian working in the British TV and theatre industry.

Hosted by Lucy Eaton, theatre producer and West End & screen actress best known for her role as Lucy in hit comedy ‘Staged’. Other episodes include Olivier award winner Patsy Ferran, ex Bond villain Toby Stephens and theatre royalty Sir Richard Eyre.
