Event Description
Forget your chakras – it’s time to get real. Cally Beaton is coming to Maidstone LitFest, and she’s bringing sharp suits, sharp wit, and zero tolerance for corporate nonsense.
Join us at Junipers for an evening of cocktails, craft gin and candid conversation!
Once a senior exec at MTV and Viacom, Cally helped bring South Park and SpongeBob to our screens – and then promptly swapped boardrooms for green rooms, launching a stand-up career in her 40s. (Midlife crisis? Midlife upgrade.)
Now host of the hit podcast Namaste Motherf**kers, Cally fuses laugh-out-loud comedy with take-no-prisoners wisdom about life, work, and not falling for every wellness fad going. In this live event, she’ll dive into her journey from career queen to comedy circuit regular, mixing outrageous stories with genuinely useful life lessons (and possibly some yoga breathwork, if you ask nicely).
🎤 What to Expect:
Career chaos, comedy gold – from TV exec to award-winning comic
Podcasts, punchlines & profanity – the truth behind Namaste Motherf**kers
Laughs, liberation & life advice – no PowerPoint, no BS
Ideal for anyone who's ever questioned their career, tried a green juice, or screamed into a pillow during a Zoom meeting.
🍹Bar open from 6pm
