Ep. 515 - Anna Hale

Anna Hale is a musical comedian, and was the winner of the coveted Audience Favourite prize at the 2024 Musical Comedy Awards, as well as placing second overall. She was also a semi-finalist at Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the Year 2024 and runner-up at Queerovision 2024. She trained and worked as a musical theatre performer, but now sings her own compositions and is doing what she loves best, which is, as she unashamedly admits, singing, playing instruments and showing off. She’ll be doing it at the Edinburgh Fringe at the Cellar in the Pleasance Courtyard. Anna’s Edinburgh show 2025 is called, Control Freak .


Anna Hale is our guest in episode 515 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things she'd like to put in a time capsule; four she’d like to preserve and one she’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
