Comedian Jayde Adams on 'Being Unapologetically Yourself'

The Book Of Firsts - A podcast by Emma Tindall - Thursdays

From getting fired at ASDA to an Emmy nomination… it is my absolute pleasure to welcome award winning comedian, the sensational JAYDE ADAMS! A west country girl with a flare for acting, Jayde's early twenties were spent performing in any way she could, from devising shows and acting in the theatre, to several stints as a priest in a blow up moving cathedral at festivals across the UK..In her mid twenties, Jayde made the big move up to London where she landed in the East London Drag Queen scene and began her stand-up comedy journey gigging around London. She got her big break in 2014 when she won the ‘funny women’ award, and has since gone on to win multiple awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, host Channel 4’s ‘Crazy Delicious’ and most recently long-listed for an Emmy award for her latest Amazon Prime piece ‘Serious Black Jumper’ Jayde and I talk all things stand-up comedy, the drag queen scene, coping with loss and bereavement, saying YES to everything, and how the power of confidence and truly believing in yourself can totally transform your life. Our favourite Millenial Minesweeper Quote this Week was: 'Wherever you go there’s a five hundred pound load of shit waiting for you. And that’s perfectly fine. The point isn’t to get away from the shit. The point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with.' - Mark Manson ‘The subtle art of not giving a Fuck’ Hosted on Acast.
