Comedy, Tragedy and the Human Condition with Alistair Logan

In this episode, Darren sits down with actor, writer, director and language educator Alistair Logan for a thoughtful conversation about creativity, identity and the strange beauty of living between cultures.

Alistair shares his journey from Canada to England to Finland, reflecting on childhood, creativity, spirituality, tragedy, cultural clashes and the personal contradictions that shape an artist’s voice. They explore what it means to write authentically, how comedy and tragedy intertwine, why Finnish humility can confuse foreigners, and why creative work is both a calling and a burden.

This episode dives into writing, philosophy, belonging, pain, pride, emotional openness and the strange motivations that push us to keep creating. A reflective, honest, and quietly powerful conversation.
