Summary

Hiyer mates. Happy Thursday. We've got an absolute banger for you this week. It's a chat with the completely brilliant Helen Behan. You might've seen her acting in Shane Meadows' 'This Is England' franchise or more recently in 'The Virtues' alongside Stephen Graham and previous TSP guest Niamh Algar. The unusual pathway into her acting career is a brilliant story that she tells with incredible aplomb. Helen is great craic. She joined Craig over zoom on a woozy, post-pub Sunday morning but that didn't diminish her charm and warmth. They talk improv, imposters, arseholes, pubs, methods, and loads, loads more. It's an episode we're dead excited for you to hear. This is series ten, episode seven of the Two Shot Podcast with Helen Behan.
