About this show
Carrie’s mum is dead. Her last wishes were for her daughter to drive her ashes back to her childhood home in Anglesey, Wales, to be scattered. However, there is one catch – Carrie has to take Aled with her. Aled is her mum’s secret boyfriend. Aled was with her for 8 years. Aled is a chatbot. 'Heartfelt and deeply funny' (TheOxfordBlue.co.uk). 'Quintessentially irreverent' (Cherwell.org). 'Radically human' (RoomWithReviewBlog.blogspot.com). 'Within ten seconds, the audience is genuinely captivated' (The Last Act Critic, Substack).
