Stephen Mangan invites a different eminent guest into his virtual confessional box to make three 'confessions' to him.
This is a cue for some rich and varied storytelling, and surprising insights as their confessions are put under the microscope. Settle back for a stimulating journey through the realms of shame, regret, guilt and toe-curling embarrassment
Stephen interviews Shaparak Khorsandi, a self-styled ‘spit and sawdust stand-up’ whose career also embraces success as a satirist, novelist and screen-writer.
She recently received the prestigious James Joyce Award from Dublin University.
She reveals a secret act of vandalism in her primary school loos, a story of hand cuffs and impulsive behaviour, and a tendency for taking comic retribution.
Written and presented by Stephen Mangan.
With extra material by Nick Doody.
