Baines Plus One with Actress and Comedian Helen Monks

Sam's guest this week was the multi-talented actress, comedian and playwright Helen Monks. Conversation ranged from the hazards of bed bugs, fat suits, rollercoasterphobia and on-screen accidental vomiting.

Sam faced a challenging question about Boris Johnson,Nigel Farage and Donald Trump and Helen told us all about her play about homelessness in Stratford - 'E15'. More info at http://lungtheatre.co.uk/

There was the usual poetry slot and Helen surprised us all by revealing that she is a former poet laureate... of Birmingham.
