Kaz Cooke with Jennifer Saunders
Blurry photo of me with Jennifer Saunders backstage at the Dallas Brooks Hall before the Wheeler St interview in 2014. I am beside myself as well as her. For full doofus effect when meeting your heroines may I recommend putting your glasses on your head.Kaz helped out Jennifer Saunders of AbFAb fame with her slide show to promote her book Bonkers: My Life in Laughs, a sold-out live event for the Wheeler Centre at the Dallas Brooks Centre in 2014. Here’s an audio podcast of the event. (46 minutes).
