Episode 164: iCON - Sian Clarke

Persistent and Nasty

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE 2023 SERIES Elaine chats with performer Sian Clark about her new show Icon on at Summerhall from 2nd August till the 27th. We discuss the show, training, performance art, being a woman in stand-up, our mutual fear but love of horror, stage fright and our existential crisis. https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/icon https://www.summerhall.co.uk/about/a-brief-history-of-summerhall/ iCON The world is in crisis and so is Sian Clarke. Never mind, it will probably be ok. Let's all just try to have a nice time. Welcome to iCON, a show where everything is probably fine. In a world that is crumbling, and thoughts are spiralling, and the void you used to scream into for sweet relief tells you to go f*ck yourself, Sian Clarke asks: can we all just try to have a nice time for once? A show about the world, a show about a breakdown, a show about... it doesn't f*cking matter at this point anyway. https://www.persistentandnasty.co.uk/ Ed Fringe Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf9ThclOdoZcCZC4-2WZJFkD1qC7Vzg44fPYDVYzal0tO1uyg/closedform Sign up to Newsletter: https://www.persistentandnasty.co.uk/get-involved Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Email – [e-mail] Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/
