How Very Hannah

Thursday, 11 June 2026 - 45 minutes

Put your best red boots on, Lola’s in the house!! 💃🏾 This week I'm joined by the incredible Tosh Wanogho-Maud, currently playing alternate Lola in Kinky Boots at the Coliseum , and I genuinely could have talked to this man for hours. Wise, hilarious, and absolutely full of the kind of advice that makes you want to go home and write everything down.Tosh's career is honestly staggering - from making his West End debut at seven in Whistle Down the Wind, to Young Simba in Lion King, original UK cast of Book of Mormon, Dreamgirls, Drifters Girl, Titanique… it’s incredible to hear that Kinky Boots was the last show on his list. The one he thought might never happen (!!)We talk about what it actually felt like to go from playing Lola full time on the European tour to alternating in London, the ego battle that comes with that decision, and the phone call to Matt Henry that helped him figure it all out.Oh, and he's currently training at RADA mid-career because he never wants to stop learning. Obsessed with him. 🙌Catch Tosh as Lola in Kinky Boots at the Coliseum every Monday until 6th July… do not miss it!! 🎭 https://kinkybootslondon.com/Follow Tosh Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/t0shee/And make sure to follow the pod EVERYWHERE!
