Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. For this episode, we're rejoining for part two of our live event with one of the UK's best love comedians, Alan Davis. Davis joined us recently at Union Chapel in London to reflect on his life in comedy from the early days of stand-up. to the changing cultural landscape facing comedians today.
He was in conversation with journalist and broadcaster Jenny Cleeman. If you haven't heard part one, we recommend jumping back an episode to get up to speed. But now let's rejoin the conversation live at Union Chapel in London. How have your brother and sister reacted to you being so open about what's happened to you? Ugh My brother doesn't have any contact
He used to send cards to my kids for their birthdays. And then when I had my father arrested for historical sexual abuse, he stopped sending birthday cards to my kids. That was the only response that registered. And my sister didn't want me to write the book and she said to me, our childhood is private. And I th I you know, I get it, and I'm still in touch with with her and I know she's found it very difficult.
