IN A NUTSHELL
Three acclaimed LGBT performers tell their breakup stories and are then interviewed in chat show format by host, award-winning comedian, author and broadcaster Rosie Wilby.
GO ON...
Award-winning broadcaster and comedian Rosie Wilby hosts a comedy special edition of this popular queer chat show podcast to be recorded for Resonance 104.4FM.
Her three guests will tell their relationship breakup stories and then explore some of the following questions…
Tragedy plus time equals comedy, right?
Does the language we use around our relationships and their endings influence how we behave and feel? How does technology impact how we get together and then disentangle? If we were non-exclusive romantically, could we eradicate the need for dumping one another?
WHAT TO EXPECT
A friendly, inclusive comedy and chat show. Audience can ask questions but there’s no compulsory interaction.
