#37 – Dr Maria Kempinska MBE

Helen chats to Dr Maria Kempinska MBE – founder of Jongleurs Comedy Clubs

Maria Kempinska helped launch the careers of many of today’s top comedians including Rory Bremner, Eddie Izzard, Graham Norton & Lee Mack.

She gave up her own dreams of performing on stage to open her first club in 1983 where many of them got their first break. Maria shares stories of the challenges of life in comedy & how humour is a vital part in her work as a psychotherapist.
