Stand- Up to Theatre: A Comedians journey into Acting with Jacob Hulland. Part 1.

This week we’re joined by Jacob Hulland, a performer with experience across stand-up, theatre and immersive performance. After studying Comedy: Jacob went on to make his professional acting debut in 2022 on The Polar Express Train Ride on the South Devon Railway, playing both the Hobo and an Elf. Since then, he has founded his own children’s theatre company, Hedgehog Theatre, toured his adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, and performs regularly in immersive theatre, murder mystery events, museums and bars. He’s also the writer of an animated comedy series, Eternally Rude, about an immortal alien determined to insult every intelligent being in the universe.

Mid Life Switch Up! With Michael John Lewis

Switch It Up with Michael John Lewis. Michael John Lewis is a Brighton-based content creator, interviewer, and “switch up” influencer. After a career in acting and modelling, a medical scare changed everything—leading him to Brighton and a brand-new outlook on life.

From stage to storytelling, Michael John Lewis shares how one simple question—“What are you doing to switch it up?” can change everything...And we delve into what it really means to switch it up in life!
