LIFITV Backstage with Andrew Edwards
Ahead of one of LIFI’s most moving headline events, Larry Budd sat down backstage with Andrew Edwards for a quiet, thoughtful conversation.
Recorded before Andrew hosted Vicky McClure’s Our Dementia Choir at Leeds Playhouse, this LIFITV chat focuses on care, connection and compassion. Andrew speaks about the importance of support animals for people living with dementia, including Ripple, and how moments of comfort and familiarity can make a profound difference.
He also reflects on his love for Leeds, the festival, and the Playhouse itself, and why creating space for conversations like this feels so important. Calm, warm and deeply personal, this backstage moment captures the thoughts that come before the lights go up and the audience arrives.
