2. And Then There Was Ashley

What's the Story, Ashley Storrie?

Available for over a year

Growing up surrounded by gangsters and a dysfunctional family, this is the story of Ashley - a tall comedian who loves William Shatner and hates textured fabrics. As a self-identifying 'save the marriage' baby, Ashley grew up in a pub in the Calton area of Glasgow, performing songs and putting on shows for the drinkers on a Saturday afternoon. Her love for the spotlight often interrupted fights, and eventually led to her first job in showbiz; dramatic overacting will get you anywhere. A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4 Written by Ashley Storrie Produced by Julia Sutherland
