Isy Suttie
Season 3 Episode 7Stand Up, actor and writer Isy Suttie joins Robin and Josie this week to talk about her new book, The Actual One. As usual, the conversation meanders through all sorts of topics from stand up to Jane Eyre to poo to Sue Townsend. They also establish a new comedic cliche to replace the tired ‘The differences between men and women’; The differences between Bronte fans and Austen fans. It’s bound to catch on.
