It’s out 4th Sept! With a chapter from me coauthored with Rosie White (a literal dream coauthor - who I fangirled at hard the first time we met) - our chapter is on (surprise) Stand-up and Gender. Proud to be amongst a stellar contribs list too.

A good excuse for my first post! Super happy to share a call for chapter abstracts for an edited collection on representations of adult children and their parents in TV comedy. Some excellent people on board already and we are looking for more. Take a look #comedystudies
