b'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.\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nStand Up Tragedy Presents on Thursday Feb 18th at the Dogstar Brixton: Stand Up Tragedy Presents on 18th Feb: http://www.facebook.com/events/1129825877029165/\\n\\nMichael plugs:\\n\\nLeicester Comedy Festival: The Hay Wain Reloaded 20th Feb Heroes at the criterion at 3.30pm\\nhttp://www.michaelbrunstrom.co.uk\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nSteve Roe: http://www.hooplaimpro.com/about-steve-roe.html\\nImprovised Greek Tragedy: https://soundcloud.com/standuptragedy/stand-up-tragedy-19\\nStand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk\\nJames Ross: https://twitter.com/jamesrosscomedy\\nSofie Hagen: http://www.sofiehagen.com/\\nMark Dean Quinn: https://twitter.com/markdeanquinn\\nJeremy Clarkson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Clarkson\\nThe Golden Age of Steam: https://edinburghfestival.list.co.uk/event/490260-michael-brunstrom-the-golden-age-of-steam/\\nMyself and Micheal performing at SUT in 2015: https://soundcloud.com/standuptragedy/tragic-spring-act-1-tragic-beginnings\\nDarren Walsh: http://darrenwalsh.co.uk/\\nBec Hill: http://www.bechillcomedian.com/\\nPun Run: http://www.thepunrun.com/\\nIn the Dark Radio: http://www.inthedarkradio.org/\\nNina Garthwaite: http://www.inthedarkradio.org/nina-garthwaite-founding-director/\\nIn the Dark Residency: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/gba-live-the-invisible-picture\\nKen Campbell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Campbell\\nCottesloe Theatre: http://www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/backstage/cottesloe-theatre\\nNational Theatre\\nIlluminatus!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminatus!\\nRobert Anton Wilson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Anton_Wilson\\nThe Warp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Warp_(play)\\nNeil Oram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Oram\\nFurtive Nudist,Jamais Vu, Pigspur: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bald-Trilogy-Recollections-Pigspurt-Happiness/dp/0413690806\\nPidgin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgin\\nMacbeth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macbeth\\nTorriano Meeting House: https://torrianomeetinghouse.wordpress.com/\\nJosh Darcy: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1591591/\\nSchool of Night: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_School_of_Night\\nZoot Lynam: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528209/\\nChris Langham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Langham\\nJustin Bieber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Bieber\\nSophocles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophocles\\nOresteia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oresteia\\nAntigone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigone_(Sophocles_play)\\nRosemary Branch Theatre: http://www.rosemarybranch.com/\\nTime Out: http://www.timeout.com/london\\nRicardo Pinto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Pinto\\nHope and Anchor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hope_and_Anchor,_Islington\\nJohn Stahl: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0821471/\\nAlmeida: http://www.almeida.co.uk/whats-on\\nBattersea Arts Centre: https://www.bac.org.uk/\\nYes And... : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and...\\nJohn Luke Roberts: http://www.chortle.co.uk/comics/j/291/john-luke_roberts\\nVictoria Park: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Park,_London\\nBethnal Green: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethnal_Green\\nJohn Constable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Constable\\nThe Hay Wain: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hay_Wain\\nIslington: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islington\\n\\nHelp more people get better acquainted.
