Episode 9

Falkirk’s Boy w/ Alan Bissett

In our ninth episode, Cat Hepburn (CatHepburnWrite) and Kevin P Gilday (@KevinPGilday) have a glorious gab with playwright, novelist, performer, self-proclaimed bletherer and longtime friend of Sonnet Youth ALAN BISSETT.

The trio discuss the symbiotic relationship between writing and performing, the important and delicate nature of creating characters outwith our own lived experiences, and what it feels like to stand onstage in your boxers, in a room full of radical feminists.

Alan shares his journey from bookworm, to acclaimed writer of novels, five star theatre shows and more! Along with some cracking stories about his career, Alan also gives us an exclusive reading from his latest novella Lazy Susan (out now with Speculative Books).
