Comic Angela Barnes remembers her larger-than-life father, tackling life and love and what comes afterwards. From 2016.

Straight talking, stand-up comic Angela Barnes shares the big stuff she's thinking about - life, love, family, work and death.

In part tribute to her late father, who was a gregarious character - a sex shop manager, naturist, and a big fan of caravans and pranks - and a heavy influence on Angela. He taught her a 'carpe diem' approach to life.

His motto - You Can't Take It With You.

When her father died very suddenly in 2008, Angela and her family proved him wrong and stuffed his coffin with sentimental keepsakes for his final journey.

In this series, Angela does the very same thing and asks her loved ones to nominate objects that they would choose to send on with her as mementoes of their time together, which she keeps in a suitcase full of memories, acting as prompts for contemplative, heart-warming and captivating comedy.

An Impatient production for 成人快手 Radio 4 first broadcast in August 2016.
