1. How Dad Met Mother

The story of Ashley, a tall comedian who loves William Shatner and hates textured fabrics. Stars Ashley Storrie. From 2023.

Growing up surrounded by gangsters and a dysfunctional family, this is the story of Ashley - a tall comedian who loves William Shatner and hates textured fabrics.

Glasgow's nightlife in the early 1980's was still flying the flag for disco, bell bottoms and oversized lapels, and it was outside the local club in Shettleston where Ashley's parents met for the first time, starting the story that led to an unexpected marriage and a family feud that was never resolved.

Written and performed by Ashley Storrie.

Featuring Rosco McClelland.

Producer: Julia Sutherland
