What’s haunting your acting career?

This Halloween, Benjamin Howes and Patrick Richwood are confronting the monsters that can quietly derail an actor’s career—and we’re not just talking about the things that go bump in the theatre.

Meet the Imposter Vampire, who whispers, “Who do you think you are?” every time you dare to imagine yourself achieving something bigger.

And the Good Enough Ghoul, who convinces you that you’re doing enough, even when you might be capable of so much more.

We’re sharing our own encounters with these demons, along with some genuinely frightening backstage stories—including the night a lighting cable caught fire during a performance of A Christmas Story!

But we’re not just here to tell horror stories. We’re talking about practical ways to recognise self-doubt, confront complacency, develop greater self-awareness, and turn uncomfortable truths into meaningful progress.

Because sometimes the biggest obstacle to building the career you want is the story you’re telling yourself about what you’re capable of.

One monster tells you you’re not good enough. The other tells you you’re good enough already. Neither one wants you to grow.

Join us for a spooky, funny, and hopefully useful conversation about the fears, habits, and insecurities that follow actors through their careers—and how to stop letting them make our decisions.
