Walking The Dog with Emily Dean28 Loka 2025

Nina Conti (Part One)

This week Emily and Ray take a walk with the brilliant Nina Conti, comedian, actress and ventriloquist extraordinaire.

They meet on Hampstead Heath, where Nina grew up with her parents, actor Tom Conti and writer Kara Wilson, and Emily hears about her fascinating childhood (which happened to include David Bowie at one of her birthday parties). Nina talks about starting out in the RSC before finding her true calling in comedy and ventriloquism with her much-loved sidekick, Monkey.

She tells Emily about her hit live show Whose Face Is It Anyway?, which has been extended due to popular demand, tickets are available at ninaontour.com, and her brilliant new film Sunlight, a darkly funny and unconventional love story she co-wrote, directed and stars in. It’s in cinemas now and available to pre-order on Apple TV ahead of its digital release in November.

It’s a warm, funny and utterly charming chat with one of Britain’s most inventive performers (and features the unforgettable moment Nina gives Raymond his very own ventriloquist voice).
