Linus Karp on Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella and the hits of Awkward Productions

With his company Awkward Productions, Linus Karp has created and performed in a string of shows that have brought joyful queer chaos to audiences all over the place, via characters like Princess Diana, Gwyneth Paltrow and the hot couples of made-for-TV Christmas movies. Now, in his new show Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella, he's playing himself and drawing from a real-life homophobic incident. Here, he talks about all of the above, plus his love of the Edinburgh Fringe, how he and Joseph Martin have weaved banging music into their work, and how he started making his own stuff in the first place.

Host: Shaun Kitchener
