Raised By Wolves' Helen Monks, actress and comedian

Baines plus One

Sam's guest this week was the multi-talented actress, comedian and playwright Helen Monks. Conversation ranged from the hazards of bed bugs, fat suits, rollercoasterphobia and accidental on-screen vomiting. Sam faced a challenging question about Boris Johnson,Nigel Farage and Donald Trump and Helen told us all about her play about homelessness in Stratford - 'E15'.
