Arty Facts
Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by actor and stand up comedian Jason Kavan. In this fourth and final chapter of their wide-ranging conversation, the focus turns to the world of acting — from Jason’s unexpected role in a major Hollywood-backed HBO miniseries to the very real question of whether starting a family makes it harder to chase creative dreams. They dig into how the landscape for actors has shifted in the post-pandemic world, what new opportunities might emerge, and why performer jobs are still so often dismissed as not being "viable" despite the industry’s huge cultural and economic footprint. It’s an honest, funny and at times sobering exploration of the craft and the career path, rounded out with their signature mix of insight and irreverence. Plus, a live performance of a brand new song from the Original MCW YouTube channel. For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]
