Pope Lonergan (@thedailybumbler) and Ben Targét (@BenTarget) are the founders of the Care Home Tour. An initiative where they take physical and clowning performers and do professional comedy shows in Care Homes all over the country for disabled patients who can't come to clubs.
I got them on to talk about...
-Why they’re doing gigs to dementia patients.
-Why charity work for performers is rewarding and worth doing.
-What kind of performers they’re looking for.
-How you’d scout for talent for gigs like this.

This interview would be good for anyone interested in putting on a charity gig or doing shows for charity as well as people interested in a “circuit” of gigs that rarely gets talked about.
