Radio 4 Extra

Growing up surrounded by gangsters and a dysfunctional family, this is the story of Ashley. She's a tall comedian who loves William Shatner and hates textured fabrics. As a self-identifying 'save the marriage' baby, Ashley grew up in a pub in the Calton area of Glasgow, performing songs and putting on shows for the drinkers on a Saturday afternoon. Her love for the spotlight often interrupted fights, and eventually led to her first job in showbiz; dramatic overacting will get you anywhere. Written and performed by Ashley Storrie. Producer: Julia Sutherland A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in January 2023.
