If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.

Our penultimate guest this season is Sam Wilmott

Now unless you are an Instagram carpentry fan then you may not know who Sam is but you’ll very likely have seen some of his work as he has appeared in many West End shows including War Horse, Oliver, Wicked, Stomp and Lord of the Rings the musical and films like Nowhere Boy and the Harry Potter movie series

He gave up on his varied acting career of nearly 25 years to pursue his passion for carpentry and now has way over a quarter of a million followers on his Instagram under the username @monkeyboysworkshop. Go check him out!

Welcome back to a brand new season of The Last Show on Earth!!

If there was a huge asteroid hurtling toward Earth threatening to destroy life as we know it and you could see one more show before you die, what would it be? It can be anything you want - a show you’ve seen before, one that you wish you’d seen, or something you’ve made up entirely. What would be YOUR Last Show on Earth? This is the podcast in which we ask a special guest the big, BIG question that nobody ever needed (or indeed) bothered to ask.

Our guest this episode is Philip Quast

To theatre fans, Philip Quast needs no introduction, but here’s one anyway. He is a multi award winning and hugely influential hero to many musical actors – ourselves included – and has graced stage and screen for nearly 5 decades. During this time he has won Mo Awards, Helpmann Awards, three Olivier Awards and was appointed Member of the Order of Australia in 2022 for significant services to the arts. Most musical fans first heard of him when he played Javert in the 10th Anniversary concert and ever since then, seeing his name on a cast list is enough to make any theatre fan go weak at the knees!
