Greg and Felicity’s Behind The Scenes Podcast

We get quite deep into a minor irritation on this episode, recorded almost straight after a show. For the first time on the tour we had someone decide to interrupt the show in what felt like quite a hostile manner, something which doesn't really happen with our performances generally. We talk about how this felt, how we handled it, and how something like this can have an effect on our whole evening. A chance to see something different from behind the scenes of our shows.

Village Halls: The Good, The Bad, and The Unflushable!

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 00:02:00 GMT

This week, we're pulling back the curtain on the venues we visit — the good, the bad, and the truly bizarre.

We kick off with a lovely visit to Steventon Village Hall (complete with its own piece of dark history), then get brutally honest about the halls we won't be going back to. Think flooded toilets, collapsed roofs, roadworks mid-show, chairs that destroy your back, a hall that smelled like wet dog, and — yes — toilets on the stage.

We also have a big announcement: our brand new 2027 show, Paranormal Frauds, Fakes and Flimflam, is officially in the works and early bird tickets are already available! Plus, we want to hear from you — should we start having guests on the podcast?

Cats and the Cinema Museum

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 11:14:19 GMT

Join Greg and Felicity as they take you behind the scenes of their touring theater show. This week, they share stories from their recent performances at unique venues, including the magical Cinema Museum in London—a former Victorian workhouse where Charlie Chaplin once lived, now filled with vintage projectors, film memorabilia, and three resident cats.

The hosts dive into heartwarming tales about their love of rescue animals, from Felicity's history with cats (including her beloved "ugly" ginger cat Gussy) to their current feline companions Lucy and Moose, who were rescued from a construction site. They discuss the importance of animal rescue, share funny stories about cats with questionable smells and shoulder-riding habits, and explain what their cat Moose has in common with the Little Tramp himself.

Jamaica Inn and Ghost Photography

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 12:00:54 GMT

Join Greg and Felicity as they take you behind the scenes of their recent tour stop at the legendary Jamaica Inn in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. From performing in an intimate, atmospheric space that defied all conventional stage rules to getting lost in thick Cornish mist (and accidentally driving onto an airfield!), they share stories about this historic smugglers' haven turned paranormal hotspot.

Plus, Greg dives into Victorian-era spirit photography after discovering fraudulent ghost photos on the inn's wall. Learn how long exposure times, double exposures, and creative camera tricks created "ghosts" — and how you can recreate these effects with your iPhone today. A perfect blend of travel tales, history, and photographic trickery!

A Tale Of Three Venues

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 00:02:00 GMT

Join Greg and Felicity as they pull back the curtain on life touring the UK with their Discovery of Witchcraft show. In this episode, they share stories from performing in extraordinary historic venues—from the 275-year-old Theater Royal in Bath (complete with secret passages and crypts) to Charles Dickens' former home at Eastgate House in Rochester, where King James I once stood.

They discuss the challenges of touring with their puppy Dora, the surprising warmth of Freemason hospitality, and why performing with a microphone has transformed Greg's stage presence. Plus, Greg takes a break from witch trials to spread joy at Bekonscot Model Village, meeting a young magician who reminds him of his own childhood magic performances.

Whether you're fascinated by theatrical history, curious about the realities of touring as a performer, or just like a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode offers an intimate look at what it takes to bring magic and history to life across Britain's most unique venues.
