The YouTube algorithm giveth...and that’s how I discovered this delightful British comedian.
Speaking to customer support in Mumbai; remembering life before mobile phones – I'm not going to pretend that Kerry Godliman is blazing new trails in standup comedy. But she does fashion something endearing from her struggles to negotiate the modern world. There's a tang of authenticity to her persona, a rich mix of low- and high-status. This middle-aged south London mum-of-two is oppressed by technology and consumerism, and determined – if only through comedy – to transcend them.

Godliman dismisses the fashion industry, roleplays a crisis of indecision in the face of her washing machine's settings, and lampoons the Ofsted-ification of society, whereby we must rate everything either outstanding or in need of improvement.

As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos.
