Aisling Bea is the latest guest on Scroobius Pip’s Distraction Pieces podcast.

Aisling’s conversation with Pip goes to all sorts of different places, from stand-up, acting and fame to rejection, vulnerability and the ways in which men and women express emotions. There are interesting stories about appearing in a McDonald’s advert, meeting Stephen Hawking at a party in Jimmy Carr’s house and doing an early table read for Toast of London. She also talks about diversity on panel shows, her recent role in The Fall and her involvement in upcoming new drama Hard Sun from the creator of Luther.
