An Evening with Fi Glover and Jane Garvey


Recommended Posts

Village Books and Alleyn's Schools Enterprises are delighted to be hosting an event with award winning broadcasters Fi Glover and Jane Garvey on Friday 25th November.


Fi Glover and Jane Garvey don’t claim to have all the answers (what was the question?), but in their book Did I Say That Out Loud? they take modern life by its elasticated waist and give it a brisk going over with a stiff brush.


They riff together on the chuff of life, from pet deaths to broadcasting hierarchies, via the importance of hair dye, the perils and pleasures of judging other women, and the perplexing overconfidence of chino-wearing middle-aged white men named Roger.


Did I Say That Out Loud? covers essential life skills (never buy an acrylic jumper, always decline the offer of a limoncello), and suggests the disconcerting possibility that Christmas is a hereditary disease, passed down the maternal line.


At a time of constant uncertainty, what we all need is the wisdom of two women who haven’t got a clue what’s going on either.


‘You’ll laugh, you’ll nod your head so vigorously in agreement that you’ll end up with whiplash and you’ll buy a copy of this book for all your friends for Christmas. If you loved the late, great Victoria Wood, then you’ll love Fi and Jane too.’ Sarra Manning, Red Magazine


Their shared BBC Sounds podcast, Fortunately, which won the Comedy Show of the Year at the Arias in 2018, and a silver Spotlight Award, has been downloaded more than twenty million times and has over 500k subscribers.


Date: Friday 25th November, 7.30pm

Venue: The MCT at Alleyn's

    • That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.
    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
