How Very Hannah

It’s Halloween week, and the theatre ghosts are officially OUT… but Lizzie Bea’s not afraid!!! 👻🎃In this spookily stagey ep, West End icon and all-round lovely gal Lizzie joins me (with her gorgeous dog, Dolly). You might know her from Hairspray, Sister Act or Heathers.We’re talking tour life chaos, the highs and lows of leading a company, and the very real experience of performance anxiety (yes, even for the pros). Lizzie also shares the wildest backstage ghost story I’ve ever heard… safe to say, I won’t be switching off my dressing room light again.We also get into the power of representation on stage, and what it’s meant to Lizzie to step into leading roles as a plus-size performer - and why visibility, confidence, and feeling “enough” really matters.Plus, this week’s confession has got us all TERRIFIED 👀 because what do you do when you criticised a cast member but turns out… your mic wasn’t turned off (gulp 🫠🫣)?!Got a confession or dilemma of your own?

They open up about their journey from the West End to TikTok fame, and how they’re turning all that chaos into their very first live show 💖We also have a *very relatable* Confession of a Drama Queen, plus a pretty appropriate Hannah’s Hotline !! and test Stuart and Francis’ knowledge on all things stagey & theatre (with the help of my new book 🤭 📖 )AND… there might be a sparkly little life update from me too 💍 👀Get in touch with the show on the DMs or email hello@howveryhannah.com Buy tickets to Stuart and Francis’ LIVE SHOW! https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bloomsbury-theatre/events/2025/oct/stuart-and-francis-show-live?fbclid=PAdGRleANImttleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABpwJe0h4WPBQ1J0wg6S580cjrHd6F1xuaGUVZh56-swf66LYyaRAvSCxeKqcx_aem_mFUPcm7bdjvVvDY-pJiF-gFollow Stuart: https://www.instagram.com/stueyarmfield/?hl=enFollow Francis: https://www.instagram.com/francishaugen/?hl=enHVH LINKS🎟️ HVH LIVE SHOW TICKETS: https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/how-very-hannah/🧢 SHOP MERCH: https://howveryhannah.myshopify.com/collections/all📚 PRE-ORDER MY BOOK: https://lnk.to/LesQuiz🔗 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@howvery_hannah🔗 IG - https://www.instagram.com/howvery_hannahProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️Music Composition by Joe Truscott 🎵

Aston spills all about life after the band, how 101 Dalmatians threw him in at the deep end (literally), and why being the funny one isn’t always as easy as it looks 🐟We get into the real talk: balancing gigs with dad life, why phones in theatres are the enemy, and how he’s learned to let go and feel the moment on stage 🎭And of course… chaos ensues in our reverse singing challenge, featuring a backwards rendition of “Everybody in Love” that you honestly need to hear to believe.Don’t forget to grab your tickets to How Very Hannah Live (if there are any left 👀) and check out Aston’s upcoming Club is Alive tour — links below 💅And if you’ve got a stagey confession or a Hannah’s Hotline email me at hello@howveryhannah.com 💌🎟️ HVH TOUR TICKETS: https://www.aegpresents.co.uk/event/how-very-hannah/🧢 SHOP MERCH: https://howveryhannah.myshopify.com/collections/all📚 PRE-ORDER MY BOOK: https://lnk.to/LesQuiz🎤 JLS ARE ON TOUR - Get your tickets!! https://www.jlsofficial.com/events/📱 Follow Aston on IG: https://www.instagram.com/astonmerrygold/?hl=enSOCIALS🔗 TIKTOK - https://www.tiktok.com/@howvery_hannah🔗 IG - https://www.instagram.com/howvery_hannahProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️ Music Composition by Joe Truscott 🎵

From panto mishaps to Drag Race fame, this week’s ep is with iconic diva, Kitty Scott-Claus! ✨We’re diving into what it really takes to serve on stage (and off) as Kitty shares stories from drama school days (including a rogue pole dancing module?), the wild reality of parasocial fame, and what it felt like playing Princess Diana in drag with the nation watching. There’s backstage gossip, dream role chat, and some hilarious Heather’s memories that made me SCREAM.We also answer a dilemma from a listener dating someone in the West End (and feeling a *bit* out of place), before diving into possibly the most chaotic improv game yet, which descended into screeches, fake monologues, and Kitty nearly combusting in the best way.
