Show notes

In this episode of Life in Bold, I (Ben Hawes!) sit down with the absolutely iconic Liz Coin—actor, improviser, and full-on clown—to talk about what it actually means to live boldly as an artist. Liz gets real about bombing on stage, finding joy in the flop, and why letting her 11-year-old self run the show might be the best decision she’s ever made.

We get into clowning, perfectionism, social media, grief, self-trust, and what happens when you finally stop trying to be someone else and just… become a weirdo on purpose. This convo is full of heart, hilarity, and some serious creative truth bombs.

She’s off to Edinburgh Fringe, I just dropped my EP, and we both agree—feet on the floor is where the magic happens.—
