In today's episode, I speak to the comedian and author Dave Chawner.
This conversation is full of laughs and still dives into Daves and my personal experiences. This is also the first time I have ever spoken about the relationship between sex, relationships, and eating disorders, as Dave explains how the three are closely related for him.
Dave explains his experiences with anorexia, including when he first realised he had an eating disorder and some of the misconceptions he's noticed from others.
Finally, we talk about Dave's comedy, including his answer to "when did your eating disorder become funny?" and "who do you write your comedy for?".
