We're taking a little mid-season break from Season 2 of You're On Tonight, but we've got something special for you!
What's the secret to building a lasting career in theatre? And what do the people who've actually done it wish they'd known sooner?
In this special episode, Kara and Liam revisit some of the most memorable advice from Season 1, bringing together the wisdom, experiences and unexpected lessons that have stayed with them.
From Eddie Marsan on becoming invaluable by solving problems, to director Georgie Staight on building relationships rather than contacts, Laura White on refusing to be put in a box, and James Haxby on staying open to wherever your career takes you. Plus, Nicola Espallardo on patience and self-belief, and David Tarkenter on the importance of putting in the work.
Kara also shares a piece of advice given to her off-mic by one of the show's guests that's stayed with her ever since: the difference between being an actor who wants to act and someone who simply wants to be an actor. Is it the love of the craft that drives you, or the recognition that comes with it?
Full of practical advice, honest reflections and a few brilliant stories, this episode is a reminder that there's no single path to success - and sometimes the most valuable lessons come from the journeys you didn't plan.
