Refreshing Pod - Fringe 2025: Alex BerrA scientific life & personal one collide with Alex Berr's debut Fringe show .. 'How To Kill A Mouse'The debut comedy show from a scientist reconciling her personal life with her professional one. Alex spent her adolescence studying a rare form of brain cancer; years later her mum was diagnosed with the same form of rare cancer. Reflecting on a life dedicated to science, Alex uses humour to process her mum's death, whilst hoping for moral absolution for all the mouse casualties along the way. A deeply personal, funny and at times absurd look at grief and the human side of science. Johnny also shares his own personal experience (about his Grandma) and how Alex's show has helped others showcase all angles of grief, it really is laugh or cry .. and finds time to chat 'Have I Got News For You USA', and the recent cancellation of the 'Late Show with Steven Colbert.'Nominee: BBC New Comedy Awards 2024.Get tickets: Tickets: edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/how-to-kill-a-mouseOnline: https://linktr.ee/alexberrShow contains distressing or potentially triggering themes.Alex Beer - How To Kill A MouseJust the Snifter Room at Just the Tonic @ The Mash HouseEnds 24th Aug 2025Refreshing Pod is a magazine style podcast, giving you ideas, interviews, big name guests, and guaranteed laughs along the way, with new content every month, now in it's 8th series.
