Join Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Chris Cantrill as he wrestles with the consequences of exile, middle-aged friendships, and the best way to admit you wear a cape sometimes. As seen on Alma's Not Normal (BBC 2) and Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (Channel 4). Thrice-nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award (Best Show). Co-creator of BBC Radio 4 series Icklewick FM.
