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?
