Ashley shares the occasionally funny stories of how she went from being raised around gangsters, to comedians. Big difference. Gangsters are a lot cheerier than comics for one...

With a Scottish working-class female comic for a mother, she was put to work selling her show every year during the Edinburgh Fringe. This resulted in some challenging conversations with members of the public, and surprising encounters with famous faces. If only she’d known the difference between the two at the time.

A juicy peek behind the scenes, from the perspective of a child with autism, forced to share her mum – and her bunk bed – with the world of comedy.
