5.30pm - Catherine Pestano (30 mins) It could be You - The Menopause Lottery
Join Catherine as she continues on her dive into the menopause journey, with some thought provoking scenes and moving moments navigating this varied time of life. All change! Followed by a Q&A.
6.30pm - Amy Gwilliam (30 mins) Schmooma
Former Property Developer Frankie Foxstone aka almost famous comedienne Amy Gwilliam turns her satirical eye to her next target: the motherhood. With a significant time pressure (all being well, she’s about to do it all over again) and a “target audience” who is probably too tired, skint or poo-plastered to come, she hopes her unkempt, far too honest and sometimes hilarious musings will offer a mirror, a manifesto and a shred of relevance to anyone who once got born and considers themselves fragile, fierce and impossibly human.
7.30pm - Adeola Yemitan (45 mins) Good News
There is intel that the end of the world is nigh — for real this time — and the instruction is clear: to make disciples of all nations. But what do you do when a former disciple has lost their way and you know time is running out? What’s a little bit of kidnap in the grand scheme of eternal damnation? Good News is a playful work-in-progress extract asking: How far is too far to go for The Truth?
