Summary
This week Emily and Ray take a stroll with the hugely talented actor, comedian and writer Kiell Smith-Bynoe.
Kiell is best known for his brilliant role in the hit BBC series Ghosts, which is set to return in film form later this year with Ghosts: The Possession of Button House. He’s also had standout appearances in shows like Stath Lets Flats, Man Like Mobeen and Taskmaster, and has become one of the most exciting and versatile performers on screen.
On the walk, Kiell chats to Emily about his childhood growing up in East London, discovering later in life that he had more siblings than he first thought, and how his love of performing started early, leading him from drama school to a brief stint as a teenage MC. They also talk about his gift for improv, which he’s turned into a hugely popular live show, Kool Story Bro, where audience anecdotes are transformed into chaotic, hilarious sketches.
The tour kicks off on May 1st and tickets are available now at https://koolstorybro.co.uk.

| 1:13.7 | We also talked about his passion for performing, which started at a very young age. |
| 1:18.3 | It led him to drama school and a brief career as a teenage MC, but it was his breakthrough |
