In GBA 346 we get better acquainted with Matt. I visit him at his new venture, Alt-Space, in Morcambe and we talk about how he washed up in this North West seaside town, how the lack of a comedy club in the town inspired him to create an arts venue, community centre and a fringe there, his own work which spans spoken word, theatre and comedy, and lots more.\n\nMatt plugs:\n\nAlt-space, 21c Yorkshire Street, Morecambe: https://www.facebook.com/altspacemorecambe/\nCall out for submissions: morecambefringe@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/altspacemorecambe/posts/2220165701541560\nAlternative Space Programme: https://twitter.com/morecambespace\nOpen Mic Fireside Tales Story Telling (2nd Thursday of the month)\nFringe Friday (last Friday of the month): Next one on 30th November\n\nI plug:\n\nMy recent writing about consent and gender: https://medium.com/@goosefat101/what-about-the-women-3237e4155f2c\n\nMansplaining Masculinity: The Book https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/\n\nWhat About the Men?
