Welcome to The Bla Bla Bunker, a podcast featuring interviews with regular people who have extraordinary stories to tell. The host, Almar Hilmarsson, is one of them. In 25 years he’s gone from Icelandic lawyer and airline CEO to tattooed, bearded meat enthusiast with a startup in Central Europe. On the way, he’s made plenty of stops, and cultivated a habit of running into interesting people and asking them interesting questions. Nothing is off limits in the Bla Bla Bunker, and Almar may ask questions that most people wouldn’t dare to ask.

Mila is an up and coming Russian stand up comedian living in Barcelona.
***After we recorded our original episode which I had not published yet, war broke out when Russia invaded Ukraine, so I caught up with Mila again to hear what she thinks about it, how it has affected her personally and her relationship with ther family and life on stage.
Mila was born in a small, North Western, Russian town called Kostomuksha which translates to "Black Revenge!"
Mila felt something was off in her family but didn't really understand what it was. After moving away from there she realised that it was Narcissistic abuse which had a massive impact on her and her way to recovery from it has only just begun.
She loved arts but was forced to study economics which she hated, eventually she became a dancer...but then that career took an unforeseen turn so she started doing comedy.
We talked about how she got into it, and what inspires her material. What she thinks of woke and its influence on comedy. How are the hecklers, what can you do when the crowd is tough and how it is to be a woman in stand up comedy, what to wear and how that can impact the audience's view on you....
