Ariane Sherine (@ArianeSherine) is a British musical stand-up comedian, comedy writer and journalist. She created the Atheist Bus Campaign, which ran in 13 countries during January 2009. In her career in TV she's written for My Family, Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Countdown, The Story of Tracy Beaker and more!


I got her on the podcast to talk about - 



  • Getting hate mail for the athiest bus campaign
  • Dealing with a mental breakdown Fearing going to the final of a competition in case she got a bad review which might lead to loss of TV writing work.
  • Coming out as having a mental illness Explanations of TV jargon terms like “shadow script” “sample script” “script polish” etc.
  • Does having a baby hold you back in stand up / lose you work in TV?


AND MORE!


You can join her mailing list to hear about adventures as a stand up by emailing her on ariane@arianesherine.com.


This podcast would be useful to anyone interested in writing for TV, how comedy competitions work and how having a baby impacts being a performing.
