    We are TWO years old today! How crazy is that? Long before words like COVID and LOCKDOWN were even a thing, 10 sweaty people crammed themselves into a pokey recording studio in Liverpool to create 'Fifty Shades of Dave' a comedy, a drama, a sublime mess of emotion, knob gags and male mental health. To celebrate, here is Allan Lear who plays Bickenhole Radio Boss Declan Eaveson to tell us more. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fiftyshadesofdavepodcast/message

    ‘Fifty Shades of Dave’ has been best described as a brutally honest, ‘warts and all’ exposé of the perception of male mental health in modern society; specifically, the north of England. It’s often brash and unashamed narrative unapologetically reflects actual life events of the writer and blends risqué, tongue in cheek humour with gut wrenching drama and heartbreak as told through the troubled character of ‘Dave’. Begins 16th September, 2019. Warning: Contains very strong language and themes of an adult nature from the outset. Also contains triggering accounts of grief and suicide.
