An Evening with author David Scott

A New Leaf bookshop (Marsden) presents an evening with David Scott as he releases his new book, Caroline Aherne: Rebel in Disguise, a thoughtful exploration of the work of one of the most influential and sadly missed British comedians. Scott dives into Aherne’s iconic characters from Mrs Merton to Denise in The Royle Family, examining the social and cultural influences that shaped her work, celebrated for its sharp wit, warmth and ability to find comedy in adversity. 

David Scott is a BBC Radio Manchester presenter, a poet, podcaster, Youtuber and author. His first book, Mancunians was published by Manchester University Press in 2022.
