Enya Martin – Acting the Divil

Acting the Divil explores the funny side of modern fitness culture and the quiet truth of a long-term, childless relationship.

Enya Martin reflects on growing up in the 90s on a council estate, to eventually flying first class to Australia. She explores the many hurdles she’s come up against in life that has shaped her into the comedian she is today, and her mother is still the punch line to most of her jokes!

A funny, heartfelt hour about chasing success while staying true to the people who shaped you.
