Ben Pope: Passage Reading — Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

Deskripsi

Comedian Ben Pope reads his mischievous short story, Tomato Mozzarella Salad. A recipe that is also, somehow, an entire relationship contained in a single dinner.The story begins as a set of instructions and ends as a meditation on love, choice and the specific friction of spending a life with someone. Ben and Freya discuss what it means to make the choice right rather than the right choice, why the arguments you have with a partner are often the same argument on repeat, and why the grass on the other side looks greener only because you haven't spent enough time standing in it.This is a conversation about commitment, and why the smell of basil might be all the answer you need.🎥 WATCH the full episode HERE🎟️ Buy tickets to Ben's Book Club comedy show at the Fringe this year, or his WIP standup also in Edinburgh this summer📘 OUT NOW Freya's novel: A Real Piece of Work.💛 Follow @freybromley on Instagram for updates and to ask your questions📚 Join Freya's newsletter at freyabromley.substack.com for behind the scenes thoughts🎙️And hit subscribe wherever you get your podcasts Hosted on Acast.
