Working Class Crumbs

As part of my MA by research in creative writing - one of my stories is in the

Panacalty
 

Set in North East England in the 1970s and featuring local favourite stand up comic Bobby Thompson. Sless creates a fictionalised account of Bobby’s comedy through the eyes of a young working-class woman who dreams of becoming a comic. The story is rich with local language and Sunderland dialect.

  In memory of  

Bobby Thompson
1911 -1988
