4. Death and Chocolates
The only guaranteed thing in life is death. Ashley's upbeat anecdotes include the loss of her grandparents, ghosts from the 80s, her mother's terminal diagnosis, and karaoke.
Ashley’s mum is dying, and she’s 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… and Forrest Gump.
Poignant and personal, this might also be the episode to convince Ashley that exploring your trauma in a fringe show isn’t a suitable substitute for actual therapy…
