Stage Door Athletic

23. Shobna Gulati

Season 1, Ep. 23

This week we induct our first National Treasure into Stage Door Athletic, none other than iconic actor, singer, dancer, author, comedian, mother, equalities campaigner and Man United fan, Shobna Gulati.


We talk all things from first being encouraged onto stage by her parents as a traditional Indian Dancer, to finding her funny bones in audition with Victoria Wood, lilos, dildos, trips to Old Trafford with her Dad, her secret to quizzing and Eric Cantona! It’s a total treat.


Shobna is currently on the UK Tour of ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ search online for venues and tickets.
