E24 - The Brunch Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

Episode Twenty Four: The Brunch
After an all-you-can-drink outing with the Good Grief Girls (and Gary), our gossip returns slightly worse for wear - but no less opinionated. From mimosas to mixed-up names, spiritual resentment to dating app disasters, she’s tipsy, tangled, and unfiltered. There’s love, loss, and a woman in a toilet skirt mishap. And beneath it all, a quiet confession: life without Keith isn’t just different - it’s disorienting.

Tune in for:

Bottomless brunch with bottomless grief, glitter, and gin
A karaoke moment, a wardrobe malfunction, and a lot of confusion over Glenys
The real cost of widowhood—and the dating disasters that follow

Tune in for:

Onstage chaos, offstage ambition, and the tragic tale of Curly Wurly Windswept
A masterclass in Received Pronunciation (or lack thereof)
Behind-the-scenes scandal, musical mishaps, and choir members clumping like Morrisons shoppers
