Growing up with a political. picketing dad wasn’t always easy, but then neither was being a teenager up north in the 80s. Jen Strike (real name) takes us on a tour of a northern childhood amidst the backdrop of The Miner’s Strike. Songs and stories are interspersed with stand-up and storytelling in this carefully crafted window into the life of an awkward, lanky teenager that didn’t have the ballet skills of Billy Elliot to fall back on.
