Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 307, we get better acquainted with Michael. He talks about moving from stand up comedy into true storytelling, running festivals, making flashing hats and merkins, finding a voice, travelling the world and lots more. Michael hosts Natural Born Storytellers and I host the Hackney branch of Spark London and so this is a conversation between two people working in the same genre, and a lot of it is about storytelling and truth and performance. Michael plugs: Natural Born Storytellers: 3rd Wednesday of every month at the Camden Head I plug: What About the Men?
