Ollie can't see the point of his Great Gran and now it's even worse, as she fell and hurt her hip and has come to stay. She can't run, jump, skate or hardly stand. However she can do one thing - swim. She can do it very well. There was a time she did it at the Olympic Games in London, NO! Not those Olympic Games, the ones in 1948....when the athletes had to bring their own towels.

From playing Glastonbury and Ronnie Scott’s to miming on children’s television, musician turned comedian Rosie Wilby looks back at the emotional rollercoaster of chasing stardom at the heady height of Britpop. Mixing stand up, storytelling and acoustic versions of her songs, Rosie delves into a personal treasure trove of old photos, fan letters, reviews and the original Rosie’s Pop Diary (her 90s column in the now defunct magazine Making Music) for this funny and touching show that explores the nature of nostalgia and was a big hit at this year’s Edinburgh Festival.
