A podcast that interviews funny and interesting people to discuss their careers and some of the challenges they have faced. I hope to use this platform to normalise and encourage the discussion of failure, particularly through the lens of the entertainment industry, to show that it can be a stepping stone towards the road of success.
Nothing is better than humour to normalise a situation, so having deep and meaningful conversations, interspersed with comedy and laughter, helps us celebrate and appreciate life’s frustrating moments.
Riki Lindhome is an Emmy nominated actress as well as a comedian, musician/ songwriter, writer, producer and director. Her wonderful career includes roles in acclaimed films such as ‘Knives Out’ and ‘Under the Silverlake’ and major hit shows ‘Wednesday’, ‘The Big Bang Theory’, ‘Brooklyn 99’, and most recently ‘The Muppets Mayhem’. She is one half of Garfunkel and Oates, her musical comedy duo with Kate Micucci, and she is also the co-creator and showrunner of the TV series ‘Another Period’ which aired on Comedy Central and was produced by Red Hour–Ben Stiller’s production company.
Additionally, Riki is an Emmy-nominated songwriter, and has contributed to animated movies and TV shows such as The Lego Movie 2 and the Spongebob Movie. She will appear as Maud in the upcoming horror film ‘They Listen’ by Blumhouse films later in 2024.
She will also be performing at Edinburgh her new show “Dead Inside”. Dead Inside is a poignant mix of true stories and silly songs about Riki’s personal and tumultuous journey into motherhood. Offering a fresh perspective on the still-very-much taboo subjects of infertility and surrogacy, this is Riki’s first foray into solo comedy performance, usually performing alongside Kate Micucci as Garfunkel and Oates.
