This week we speak with the wonderful Amy Conachan. Amy is a stage and television actress who graduated with a BA in Acting from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2015 and has since worked companies including <a href="https://graeae.org/">Graeae</a> and <a href="https://playpiepint.com/">A Play, A Pie and A Pint</a>. From 2014 - 2016, Amy played the part of Laura in our "<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/mar/12/wendy-hoose-tron-theatre-review">rude, ribald and  hilariously off-colour</a>" sex comedy <a href="https://www.boptheatre.co.uk/wendy-hoose/">Wendy Hoose</a>, written by <a href="https://johnnymcknight.com/">Johnny McKnight</a>. As if starring in one of our shows wasn't enough of a career highlight 😉 Amy is now best known for playing science teacher, Courtney Campbell, in the Channel 4 show <a href="https://www.channel4.com/programmes/hollyoaks">Hollyoaks</a>.
The discussion covers how to rehearse 'finger-banging', how Glaswegian gags translate to a Spanish audience and the differenceof working on a play compared to a TV soap.
This episode was recorded on June 4th.

Hosted by actor, writer &amp; director Robert Softley Gale and actor &amp; stand up comic Jack Hunter. Each week they interview a performer from a previous BOP production. Think of it like The Graham Norton Show, but presented by two disabled folk and without any fancy sofas.

The Audio Engineer is Will McKee and the soundtrack was composed by Scott Twynholm, performed by Scott and Kim Moore.

BOP on the Wire is a podcast from Birds of Paradise Theatre Company, the only professional disabled-led theatre company in Scotland.
