How Very Hannah

Hannah the Elf, what’s your favourite Christmas song?!It’s the final How Very Hannah episode of the year - and we’re going out in festive style 🎄In this solo Christmas special, I’m reflecting on a big year of podcasting (from launching How Very Hannah to 29 episodes!?) and I’m getting well and truly in the festive spirit. Expect sleigh bells, chaotic costumes, festive phone-ins with friends, and school play flashbacks that might make you cry (with laughter).From being a fairy in A Special Kind of Present to a rumoured voice transplant in Year 6 (true story), this ep is packed full of hilarious throwbacks, seasonal confessions, and heartfelt reflections.There’s a listener dilemma about last-minute gift panic, a few surprise calls (yes, even from Santa), and a look back at all the wild, warm, and wonderful moments from Season 2/forever!!Don’t forget to FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re watching and/or listening this christmas 🤭✨ And we’ll be back SO SOON in 2026!!! In the meantime, I’d love for you to go back and watch (or rewatch) any eps you’ve missed and let me know which you picked ✨📩 Email me at [email protected] 💌AND JOIN US ON SOCIALS🔗 TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@howvery_hannah 🔗 IG – https://www.instagram.com/howvery_hannahProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️ Music by Joe Truscott 🎵 Hosted on Acast.

Christmas chaos INCOMING… and this one is totally unhinged in the best way 🎄💅This week, I’m joined by the iconic (and hilarious, as this episode proves)… Rob Madge!!You might know them from My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?), their viral childhood theatre TikToks, or from the annual Christmas madness of London’s Palladium panto – and today we’re covering all of the above and more!!We throw it all the way back to child star days (we met in Oliver aged 11 ?! 😭), from Gavroche at the O2 to Capri Suns at house parties (don’t ask). Rob spills on how their family home videos turned into viral fame, West End leads, and a stage show that made it to BROADWAY…… No big deal 🤭🎭We also answer a festive Hotline call about how to survive a Christmas contract (spoiler: it involves naps, pigs in blankets, and minimal socialising).PLUS a confession about a spotlight-stealing jazz hand that had us in stitches.Truly one of the funniest, most heartwarming chats I’ve ever had. Rob, you’re a STAR.🎟️ GET TICKETS to the Palladium Panto: https://palladiumpantomime.com/📱 FOLLOW ROBIG: https://www.instagram.com/robmadge02 TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@rob_madge_And join us on the How Very Hannah socials for more stagey podcasting fun…🔗 TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@howvery_hannah🔗 IG – https://www.instagram.com/howvery_hannahProduced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️ Music by Joe Truscott 🎵 Hosted on Acast.

December is here, Elf is back on stage… and so it’s only right I’m joined by the one and only Carrie Hope Fletcher!!! ❄️🎅🏼⛸️ She’s a musical theatre megastar, bestselling author, and certified YouTube queen… from child stardom to Les Mis legacy, Carrie’s done it all – and we’re getting into it. We’re talking Elf on the West End (complete with knee pads, juggling and a snow globe-induced show stop), her recent 100km Sahara trek for charity, and the surprising truth about how Heathers really took off in the UK – and how it shaped both of our careers 💘 Carrie opens up about life as a working parent in theatre, the pressures of public opinion, and the early closure of Bad Cinderella… plus what it’s like being the sister of McFly’s (and Paddington’s!!!) Tom Fletcher. 🎟️ See Carrie in Elf the Musical at the Dominion Theatre until Jan 3rd! ⁠https://elflondon.com/⁠🎗️ Donate to CoppaFeel ⁠here!⁠ Don’t forget to FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE wherever you’re watching and/or listening 🤭 ✨📩 Email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠ 💌 AND JOIN US ON SOCIALS…🔗 TikTok – ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@howvery_hannah⁠🔗 IG – ⁠https://www.instagram.com/howvery_hannah⁠ Produced by Bear Lane Productions 🎙️Music by Joe Truscott 🎵 Hosted on Acast.
