S1E4: My First Six Months As A Sober B****

Available for over a year

Our regular Original Pilot Material Podcast host Amelia Bayler, a stand up comic by trade, takes over and takes us back to her first six months of deciding to lose the booze. Amelia found herself having to completely reevaluate her life and personality, describing the period as "puberty happening all over again". She takes us through the nights out, the fashion / identity crisis, the energy drink obsession and how the decision affected her work, brought together with some "bangers" of her own and a sit down with fellow sober-comedian Martin Bearne.
