Sutter’s newest book is Stretching It, is a novel about sex,
hypochondria, papier mâché and caring for an impossible parent. Keith Hutson is
a splendid poet with brilliant comic timing who cut his teeth writing for Eric
Sykes, Jasper Carrot and Les Dawson. Char March has won numerous awards for
poetry, plays and short story writing and her performances have been described
