Adam Riches

Adam Riches is known for his shows that teeter perfectly between crafted brilliance and sheer chaos with his fearless, high-energy characters performances - from Sean Bean, Coach Coach to Michael Ball. This is an incredibly rare look behind the mask and one you don't want to miss!

We discuss why Edinburgh shouldn't be seen as the Olympics, Eddie Izzard's documentary that inspired him to rip up the rulebook, how audience participation became his superpower, the challenges of the industry, how Sean Bean's Dungeons 'n Bastards reignited a creative spark and is Adam Riches happy…
