Mitch Day's Story Time Mitch Day
-
- Comedy
We all need something less serious in our lives right now - so why not try listening to me improvise my way into and out of a well trodden (and now: well trodden on) story? Or readings of my own comedy plays, very historically inaccurate accounts of well known figures and events, short stories, monologues and (when they let me) those of my Writer friends? It's honestly this or The News so, you know, crack on!

You're Not Special!
Time to calm down and relax with a lovely short story...
This weeks story is read by ME (so it really must be fantastic) and is about Colin, a hypersensitive soul seeking a therapist to help him through life. When he arrives in her office though, she seems a little bit, well, familiar...

Denise, her Daughter & DEAN
Hard day? Annoying customer? Snotty email? Well! Let us take you away from all that with a BRILLIANT short story...
This episode stars the wonderful Eliza Williams as Denise and is the Podcasts very first duologue (her co star is me! Mitch Day as DEAN)
Set in the near future where AI has advanced we meet DEAN (think Siri or Alexa, but smarter) who becomes an unlikely agony aunt to Denise as she is desperate to stop her daughter Debbie from marrying the wrong man.
(This episode contains one bad word...ONE. Just the one.)

Who Invited The Swingers?
Welcome back! After a rather long pause we're here again to save you from a gloomy day of your choice with a wonderful short story. Time to relax and be elsewhere for a while don't you think?
This episode stars the wonderful Anya Sayadian as Linda, hiding in her bath from house guests who are there for a little bit more than canapés. This is an entirely accidental arrangement of course, after all; one of them is her boss...
(Despite the explicit warning there is no bad language here - but there is, as the title would suggest, an adult theme)
