Marcus Brigstocke

The Mid•Point with Gabby Logan

04-12-2024 • 54 mins

The breadth and depth of topics discussed on this episode with comedian Marcus Brigstocke may be unexpected, but just like the journey to the midpoint in life, this podcast is full of surprises!


As well as being very open and honest about his experiences with addiction and the whirlpool of shame he says it creates, Marcus explains why he thinks porn addiction is more common than you might think, and the links he sees between smartphones, dopamine, and this type of addiction. He also discusses the power of now and learning to live with discomfort; blending families in midlife and having children who are at very different ages and stages; plus, how he juggled working on an oil rig and being a podium dancer in his early years! This episode has it all.


Remember, you can still secure tickets to Marcus’ new stand-up show, set to hit theatres nationwide in 2025.


TW: This episode contains references to suicide, as well as discussions about addiction and disordered eating.
