On the eve of his 38th birthday and 2nd year of sobriety, John Mostyn, has realised he has spent his entire adult life in a world of addiction, debauchery, and self destruction. Now newly sober, he is trying to figure out who he is, what he is doing, and how to behave as a (somewhat) responsible functioning adult human being/stand up comedian.
Join John, as he talks about comedy, life, sobriety, addiction, self care, wellness and everything inbetween.

S2/Ep 1: Quarantine Life Is Rubbish
John is back, and he is currently living alone in another lockdown. Will he turn to Jesus like some of his friends? Or is he quietly and patiently awaiting the vaccine so he can see Paddington 3 in the movie theatres?
In this episode John tells us about his year (2020), starting a new business, dating during Covid, losing a friend to addiction, how the pandemic has forced him to look at what is and isn't working in his life, and spends a good chunk of time telling us what a masterpiece Paddington 2 is. These are lonely weird times so its perfect time for the new season of Modern Life Is Rubbish.
