EP62 - Tony Burgess - A Stag, a Bet, and a Gangster's Debt

Joining us on the AllMadeUp sofa is comedian and writer - Tony Burgess

Billy Grogan has spent 15 years addicted to heroin on Manchester's streets. At 29, he bets £500 he can stay clean for a year. His friend and fellow addict, Cravat, supports him while facing his own struggles. Cravat's resolve is tested at his friend Philip's stag do, filled with posh friends unaware of his addiction. To maintain appearances, Cravat brings Billy, hoping his friend's determination will help. Complicating matters is David Boom, a local gangster seeking the £500 Billy stole for the bet. Navigating cocaine-fueled pigeon rescues, extravagant homes, and David Boom's looming threat, the friends embark on a chaotic, hilarious journey of redemption. This is a darkly comedic tale of friendship, resilience, and the lengths people go to escape their pasts and build better futures. This is an AllMadeUp story like you've never heard before.
