🎙️ What’s This Episode About?

Anthony Proctor is the General Manager of Liverpool’s iconic Epstein Theatre - and a lifelong lover of all things theatrical.

Anthony joins John to talk about his journey from student, wanting to be a vet, to panto regular, to running one of the city’s most beloved stages. They chat about the magic (and madness) of live theatre, his time working on Farmaggedon and fringe shows, and the importance of keeping spaces like the Epstein alive - not just for performers, but for the communities that fill the seats.

It’s a love letter to local theatre, backstage gossip, and the joy of watching something come to life under the lights - glitter, gaffs and all.

Expect laughs, ghost stories, panto chaos… and a proper Scouse appreciation for the show always going on.
