No Funny Business

A podcast from Gilded Balloon Directors Karen and Katy Koren

Ever wanted to listen to a podcast discussing a mother/daughter dynamic, a family business, women (in business and, you know, in general) and, oh yeah, all the ups and downs behind running Scotland’s leading producer of live comedy and entertainment.

Well look no further because have we got a treat for you…

As Katy takes the reins of the comedy giant over the coming years, who better to give her advice than the founder of Gilded Balloon – and her mum – Karen? Plus, Karen has some stories to tell and there are amazing guests to talk to. We also give you a sneak peek into what it takes to create comedy magic all year round and during the full-on madness of three and a half weeks in August every year at the Fringe. No Funny Business brings you all the drama behind the comedy, the stories behind the scenes and the women behind the stories. Exactly, why would you miss it?
