An Afternoon with Kay Wilson

Free, booking required

Suitable for ages 16+

‘The Stand-Up Mam’ is  the first novel to be published by Kay Wilson, from East Boldon. The story features many of Kay’s own experiences of stand-up comedy – an ambition she achieved after surviving a near-fatal brain haemorrhage.

The Stand Up Mam is about one woman’s journey to happiness which is achieved by facing the mistakes of her past and talking about them on stage, in front of strangers. She is supported by a mentor who encourages her to find her own voice and be funny at the same time.

Come along and chat to Kay to find out more about her novel. Join us on Monday 28 April 1.30-2.30pm at The Word.

FREE, booking required.
