The New Curiosities Box: Show Twenty Three

For this November instalment we talk to Birmingham Comedy Festival 2018's Breaking Talent Award winner Laura Monmoth. There's a wonderous musical interlude from earthy purveyors of the post-punk narrative The Courtesy Group and a reflective, thoughtful exploration of dementia through mask theatre with the Vamos production of 'Finding Joy'.
