GBA 240 Micheal Brunstrom

In GBA 240 we get better acquainted with Michael Brunstrom. As we walk between Angel Islington and Victoria Park we improvise a conversation that pulls at the strands of what drives Michael to make the kind of comedy he does. We talk fringe theatre, enthusiasms, generalisations, milieus, breaking up with improv, the truth behind the surreal and so much more.
