For many people familiar with me/FGV, you’ll also be aware of my ex-partner Josh.
Josh has been a big part of the FGV story, helping me pull together some of the most memorable vegan events in the UK. Together we ran Hackney Downs Vegan Market, London Vegan Drinks, London Vegan Potluck, London Vegan Beer Fest, and many more events.
Josh celebrated his 50th birthday last and on ep 109 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast we hat about his party.
We also chat about stand up comedy, why we find a lot of it unfunny, and Josh’s recent experience at a comedy show at the Roundhouse.
