GBA Extra: True Stories of Time and Space

Summary: This Getting Better Acquainted extra brings together two true stories that are in some ways about time and space. They deal with memory, with family, with childhood and with relationship between different generations and cultures. Both stories in some way relate to each other and to this weeks main GBA episode: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-139-patricia The first is very directly related as it expands on some of the conversation that takes place in Episode 139. Patricia told this story live on stage at a Spark London night. http://www.sparklondon.com/ The second story was written and performed by me at my night Stand Up Tragedy. http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk It's about my gran who passed away less than 2 weeks ago. In some ways this extra episode is meant as a tribute to her, she is someone I will never be able to get better acquainted with. It's a different version of the story featured in this previous GBA episode: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-119-mum-3 Stand Up Tragedy are having a Tragic Christmas next Thursday at the Dogstar.
