Comedian and legend of the black circuit, Slim, is turning the book of his lift back to his teenage years. Going shopping with his mum, moving schools and sneaking out to go raving, Slim had a pretty standard teenage experience, until one day he received a phone call that meant he had to grow up. Fast. Slim takes us through his teenage years, from being blessed with a spotless face, to his wild first day in the world of work. Written and performed by Slim Script Edited by David Ajao Production Coordinator: Caroline Barlow Executive Producer: Pete Strauss Recorded at Up The Creek comedy club by Chris Maclean.
