Sam Brady
Sam Brady is a playwright and performer. Sam was a comedian for ten years, playing the professional circuit and performing one man shows on tour and at the Edinburgh Fringe.
His first show, Meditation Ruined My Life, won the Forever Manchester award at the 2011 Manchester Arts Festival. His second show, Kindness, enjoyed a sold out tour of UK and Ireland in 2014/15 and a run at Edinburgh’s Assembly Rooms. In 2016, Sam turned his focus to theatre with his first play, Things I Say When I Don’t Say I Love You, being commissioned and produced by The Lowry, Salford.

Mum was funny, fierce and full of surprises. Now that she’s gone, her three daughters - Hannah, Meg and Jess - face the terrible prospect of early adulthood without her. But Mum has one last mic drop moment to reveal - one that will prompt them to wonder how she really saw them, and force them to question who they truly are.
Living For Beginners is a poignant and powerful exploration of identity, self-determination, and the terror of growing up. It dives deep into the stories we inherit and challenges us to ask: Who gets to decide who we become?
Heartfelt, funny, and achingly relatable, this play speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost in the search for themselves.
