GBA 221 Mathilda Gregory

In GBA 221 we get better acquainted with Mathilda. She talks about #HowToBeFat, writing werewolf erotica, comedy, writing, performance, parenthood, slash fiction and more. We recorded the conversation in Edinburgh during the Fringe where both of us were doing solo shows that (in different ways) talk about taboo subjects, shame, identity, stigma, privilege and social pressure. We compare notes on doing shows that people might describe as brave.
