Grace Campbell

Author: Russell Tovey and Robert Diament March 1, 2024 Duration: 1:11:16

We meet stand up comedian, actress and author Grace Campbell to discuss her experiences with art! We discover that in spite of growing up with artist friends, she had a childhood fear of galleries, her admiration for artists Tracey Emin, Judy Chicago, Marilyn Minter, Elmgreen & Dragset and living with artworks by Marcelina Amelia, Mr Brainwash, and more. Plus we learn about her close friendship with art historian Katy Hessel, her collaborations with illustrator Alice Skinner, and we discuss a new documentary about sex educator and feminist Shere Hite.


Grace Campbell is a riotous force of nature. The stand up comedian, author, and actor, is on a constant, rebellious mission to undermine most of the bullshit we are taught by society. An acclaimed stand-up, and host of the popular comedy night the Disgraceful Club, currently holding a residency at Bush Hall, Grace’s comedy is wild, glamorous, fiery, and provocative.

You’re invited into a series of conversations that feel more like hanging out in a gallery after hours than a formal interview. Talk Art brings together actor Russell Tovey and gallerist Robert Diament, whose shared passion and genuine curiosity create a uniquely accessible doorway into the art world. Each episode unfolds as a relaxed yet insightful chat, pulling back the curtain on creative processes and personal stories. They speak with a wide range of voices-from celebrated artists and influential curators to their own talented friends from fields like music, acting, and journalism-all of whom bring a fresh perspective on why art matters. Tuning into this podcast feels like discovering the stories behind the work, the human connections that fuel creativity, and the simple joy of looking at something familiar in a completely new way. It’s less about art theory and more about the lived experience of art, capturing those moments of wonder that remind us how visual culture shapes and reflects our lives. For a visual companion to the discussions, their Instagram is the perfect place to see the artworks that come up in conversation.
