The Uncensored Critic Podcast: Louise Beresford on Magic Goes Wrong and Performing Comedy
Louise is an actress, writer, comedian and Mountview graduate who has worked across the West End and many comedy circuits across the country.
She has worked extensively with Mischief Theatre company who are behind not only Magic Goes Wrong, but, The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan goes Wrong among many other sketches. Some you may have seen on the Royal Variety and Comic Relief over the last few years.
Louise discusses her love for comedy, how to keep it fresh for each performance and that each night is different. Every audience will react in a separate way, that is completely normal, and you shouldn’t worry if a joke lands differently than it did the previous night.
Comedy is so subjective and some people will find you funnier than others. Look out for some of our darker jokes later in the episode and how comedy can occur at any moment, even at the times you LEAST expect!
I first saw Louise at the Criterion Theatre for a rehearsed reading one of Sarah Milton’s newest plays “Pa(Rental)”. I encourage all actors both in or out of drama school to attend these events, not only to hear new writing but to network fellow actors in the business. These events are held by the Criterion Theatre throughout the year, keep an eye on their instagram page for more information.
