Summary
This week Cariad talks to stand-up comedian Angela Barnes (Mock The Week, Live at The Apollo, The News Quiz) about her dad, Derek, who died from a heart attack when Angela was thirty-one, and one of her closest friends, stand-up comedian Phil Jerrod, who died from sarcoma last year in 2021. As ever we talk grief, talking till you're done and having a wedding in the middle of a death.
