TW: This episode discusses sexual assault and rape, please take care whilst listening.

Today’s guest is an actor, author, comedian and self-professed celebrity in North-West London. She grew up in the world of privilege and politics as the daughter of labour politician Alastair Campbell who has attended Hannah Montana concerts with Boris Johnson AND went to school with international pop sensation Dua Lipa.

Her book, AMAZING DISGRACE, was described by Katherine Ryan as  'An outpouring of truth, wit, and beautiful comedic wisdom' and Scarlett Curtis as 'Bold, vulnerable and hilarious.' The front cover, which shows Grace riding a dick-shaped, should say everything you need to know about what's in store.

On 6th August, during of her stint at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, she published an article in the Guardian, discussing a sexual assuault that had happened whilst in the US the previous year. The article spoke sensitively about assault, the topic of consent and a failing judicial system that cannot protect victims of rape (most notably women). The piece immediately garnered an outpouring of praise and if you haven’t read it already, I urge you to pause this podcast and read it immediately.

It is this vulnerable honesty surrounding not just the topic of intimacy, but destigmatising shame around sex, mental health, and the female body - that has made her so beloved amongst her fans.

She is a loud, unapologetic “sex positive” , shame embracing comedian who hosts her own comedy night “the disgraceful club” and is taking her critically acclaimed show “A Show About Me(n)” on tour around the UK next year.

Said about herself -

“GRACE CAMPBELL IS THE FUNNIEST PERSON SHE HAS EVER MET. IF SHE WASN’T HER, SHE WOULD WANT TO BE HER. ”

She’s an utter disgrace that all women love and tory men are afraid of, healing the nation, one fanny fart at a time.

Grace Campbell, it is a HUGEE pleasure to welcome you on to the podcast!

Today’s guest was born to a jazz drummer dad and a music-obsessed family, where he was inspired by artists from Stevie Wonder to Rage Against The Machine.

He moved to London at the age of twenty to focus on writing and producing music, where he began curating his musical influences including Sampha, Jamiroquai, Tame Impala and N.E.R.D among others.

Bartlett's twisted, honest song-writing coupled with his funky instrumentation formed the sound of Dan D’Lion. His debut EP 'BETTERMAN' demonstrated his ability to modernise and transcend the alt-pop genre, with Notion calling him the soul and sound to watch in 2020. As a producer, he has an impressive writing and production CV that includes the likes of Little Mix, Salen, Punctual, Zilo and Feder.

Now in 2022, with over 100,000 monthly streams on Spotify, Dan has certainly captivated a huge audience with his innovative and fearless genre-bending material. And he’s just finished his first album which will be coming out later this year.

His motto - “to be the smallest fish in the biggest pond” shows a earnest willingness to constantly finesse and relearn his craft and it’s clear he’s only just getting started.

Welcome Dan Bartlett, aka Dan D’lion.
