b'In GBA 307, we get better acquainted with Michael. He talks about moving from stand up comedy into true storytelling, running festivals, making flashing hats and merkins, finding a voice, travelling the world and lots more. Michael hosts Natural Born Storytellers and I host the Hackney branch of Spark London and so this is a conversation between two people working in the same genre, and a lot of it is about storytelling and truth and performance. \\n\\nMichael plugs:\\n\\nNatural Born Storytellers: 3rd Wednesday of every month at the Camden Head\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nWhat About the Men?
