Love, Death and A Box of Chocolates
Ashley's atypical account of amore includes cringeworthy crushes and hugging machines, while her appraisal of death gets side-tracked by grave robbers, 80s ghosts and Forrest Gump.
Ashley shares her atypical account of amore - cringeworthy childhood crushes, hugging machines, and why love actually is a load of mince.
And in the final chapter of her story, Ashley鈥檚 mum is dying, and she鈥檚 not doing it nearly as gracefully as Susan Sarandon has led us to believe it should be done. In trying to make sense of it all, Ashley explains how death was dealt with during her unconventional upbringing - featuring funeral karaoke and family feuds - getting side-tracked by grave robbers, 80s ghosts鈥� and Forrest Gump.
Poignant and personal, this might also be the episode to convince Ashley that exploring your trauma in a fringe show isn鈥檛 a suitable substitute for actual therapy鈥�
