Interview: Lauren Stone & Liberty Hodes

Lauren Stone met Liberty Hodes when she was working on the bar at Alphabetti Theatre and Liberty had come to do a residency. Within the space of a conversation, such was their chemistry that they'd decided to run a night together. Three years on and their upcoming show of A Comedy Night That Passes The Bechdel Test, taking place at Alphabetti on Friday 14th February, is a very special third birthday edition of the celebrated alternative comedy night.
