For our second of two satellite events as part of Battle of Ideas 2024*, we’ve invited Freedom of the Arts co-founder Denise Fahmy to discuss how FITA’s 5-year project is going a year in and the possible impacts of the change of government.
Having reassessed her life through the prism of an ADHD diagnosis in last year's funny and moving memoir, one of Britain's most beloved and most scatterbrained stand-ups lets you back into her mind (warning: it's cluttered in there). Among other things, this show will be a love-letter to letter-writing, a trip back through her early years as a comic and woman-about-town, and a whirlwind tour of a chaotic, hilarious brain.
Part of Farsley Lit Fest.
