SHOWTIME: Scott Hoatson and Brendan Murphy on Potted Potter Australian Tour

Scott Hoatson and Brendan Murphy join me to chat about POTTED POTTER, the critically acclaimed parody stage show that condenses all seven Harry Potter books into a 70-minute show. Created by Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, it features comedic reenactments, audience participation, and incredibly funny interpretations of that famous wizarding world. Potted Potter has toured the world and has just started its FIFTH tour of Australia.
