212 - CHASE Your Fxxking Dreams - with Luisa Omielan

If you’ve got big ideas, this is probably the most important episode we’ve ever done.

God is a Woman is the pinnacle of a 17 year stand up comedy career.

Luisa Omielan has created a musical comedy that tells the truth about Mary Madeline and what happens when you wipe women’s stories from history.

The show might not get made.

Luisa has sold everything she owns and moved to the states to pursue its creation.

That’s how strongly she believes in the idea and how committed she is to doing everything in her power to get it made.

Luisa knows that the best chance of success for her musical, is in LA.

But the USA is, ‘politically uneasy’ right now. Stewart Lee has stated he wouldn’t tour there at this moment in history.

But Luisa is there.

She’s there because she believes in her idea and she believes that art is revolution.

She believes in using your voice. In saying the hard things, the inconvenient things.

She lives on a razors edge. No marketing budget. No PR team. No management.

When you don’t have financial backing you have to get inventive and you have to ask for help.

Which is one of the hardest things to do. I’m so bad at it when it comes to my own work. But when it comes to other creatives I have no hang ups…

If you listen to this episode and you think this project should get made, you should help make it.

Luisa is funded by Patreon, where over 500 people, who share her vision, give a small amount each month.

You can join them. It’s a revolutionary act, to find your favourite artists and support them.

Your whole life, people have projected their doubts onto you.

They have told you that obsession is weird. ‘Chase your dreams’ is a cliche. No one tells you how and no one expects you to actually do it.

Do you have an idea that you’d sell everything for? If you do, go after it, CHASE it, with every fibre of your being.
