Jaye Marie and Anita Dawes

Today I am joined by poet, Lynn Gerrard, a keen activist for mental health awareness, newly anointed stand-up comedian (Stand Up To Stigma), and a serial worrier who enjoys a strict diet of fingernails and chocolate.

The Fun Five:

• What part of the world do you come from?

I was hatched in the northern town of St.Helens, Merseyside, England where I remain. The dank and dreary weather here serves to suit the dark moods of my alter ego, The Grumbling Gargoyle, perfectly!

• What did you want to be when you grew up?

All the conventional occupations seemed coma inducingly tedious to me! I just wanted to sit in my own little den and write stories that would, hopefully, frighten the hell out of people. That’s still my aim today.

• List three words to describe yourself.

Moody. Maudlin. Mad. Rebellious

• Who would play you in a film…
