Scarred for Life

John Thomson

Our second guest of season two is actor, comedian and Fast Show legend John Thomson, the British actor and comedian best known for his work on the sketch comedy show The Fast Show, where he portrayed memorable characters like the deadpan jazz musician Louis Balfour. Known for his versatility, Thomson has also starred in acclaimed dramas like Cold Feet, blending humor and depth in his performances. Based on the hugely successful Scarred for Life books, this is a weekly exploration of the things that scared people growing up and what those things say about us today. Join Andy Bush and co-authors Stephen Brotherstone and Dave Lawrence as, each week, they talk to a special guest who brings with them three terrors from their childhoods.

Based upon the hit book series, host Andy Bush and authors Stephen Brotherstone and Dave Lawrence are joined by their guests to talk about the dark side of the 1970s and 80s (and, hopefully, heal some pop culture-related childhood traumas!)
