This week Cariad talks to stand-up comedian Angela Barnes (Mock The Week, Live at The Apollo, The News Quiz) about her dad, Derek, who died from a heart attack when Angela was thirty-one, and one of her closest friends, stand-up comedian Phil Jerrod, who died from sarcoma last year in 2021. As ever we talk grief, talking till you're done and having a wedding in the middle of a death.

You can find out more about Angela and her gigs here https://www.angelabarnescomedy.co.uk and you can follow her on twitter @angelabarnes and Instagram @angela_barnesy.

You can follow the Griefcast on Twitter + Instagram @thegriefcast. Griefcast is hosted by Cariad Lloyd, edited by Kate Holland, recorded remotely in Cariad's living room, artwork is by Jayde Perkin, stop motion social media clips by Alice Loveday and the music is provided by The Glue Ensemble. And remember, you are not alone.

Cariad's book, You Are Not Alone, is published in January 2023, by Bloomsbury Tonic and available for pre-order now.
