Interview: rarely asked questions - Garrett Millerick

Garrett Millerick has just accidentally bought a house in the heart of Brexit country. His membership of the Urban Liberal Elite has been rescinded, subsumed into the ranks of the silent majority, he is totally consumed by home improvement, car magazines, property values, bin day and reality television. He is living an Essex based remake of Kafka's Metamorphosis and has become what he once feared most, Jeremy Clarkson. Full on stuff with a hint of Stewart Lee but with the volume knob turned right up.
