<![CDATA[FAMEHUNGRY: The Podcast]]>FAMEHUNGRY: The Podcast is a funny, candid, slightly dangerous investigation into fame, power and the economics of being seen. Hosted by cult UK performance artist Louise Orwin, it asks what it really takes to 'make it': who gets noticed, who gets paid, and who decides. Through conversations with artists, comedians, critics and cultural figures, the podcast digs into ambition, money, gatekeeping, jealousy, failure and artistic survival. What’s the worth of what we do as artists - and, through he perks and perils of it all... is it worth it?

...

The podcast sits alongside FAMEHUNGRY, Louise Orwin's award-winning live performance project, which began as something closer to a existential crisis than a show concept. In her mid-thirties, watching an arts practice she'd spent fifteen years building start to feel structurally unsustainable, she found herself asking a question that felt both embarrassingly personal and quietly systemic: what does it mean to be an artist inside an economy that no longer rewards the work itself, but the visibility around it? How does all this change us, the culture we live in, the art we make and consume, and maybe more importantly, the way we think about ourselves and each other?

The podcast extends that same enquiry outward: an ongoing, occasionally chaotic study of visibility, value and who gets to hold power in contemporary culture, but this time bringing other people on the journey with her. Same experiment, new format baby.

Right???

Or maybe we just want to be seen. Loved. Admired. Paid.

In a world obsessed with visibility, celebrity and turning ourselves into walking brands, what does it actually mean to be successful? And what happens when you dedicate your life to making art, only to discover that recognition doesn't necessarily pay the rent?

Award-winning cult British performance artist Louise Orwin has spent fifteen years making experimental theatre on the fringes of culture. Now she's asking whether those fringes love her back.

In The FAMEHUNGRY Podcast, Louise gets up close and personal with artists, comedians, performers, sex workers and cultural provocateurs to investigate fame, ambition, money, power, failure and the economics of being seen.

Coming this season: acclaimed theatre-maker Tim Crouch, musician and performer Charlene Kaye, comedian and presenter Matt Richardson, legendary performance artist Ursula Martinez, and broadcaster and former I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant Iain Lee, who gets brutally candid about the highs and lows of fame, addiction and life after the spotlight.

Plus plenty more artists with complicated relationships to success.

Expect uncomfortable confessions, outrageous stories, existential crises and some very questionable behaviour.

The FAMEHUNGRY Podcast launches 28 October 2026.

New episodes weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.

Follow the show now so you don't miss the first episode.

ABOUT LOUISE ORWIN

Louise Orwin is an award-winning performance artist, writer and director who has spent the past fifteen years making work about the things we're not supposed to talk about. Her provocative, genre-defying performances explore gender, power, identity and the strange ways we behave in front of one another. Her work has toured internationally, frequently involving uncomfortable questions, audience participation and situations that probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
