Super-sharp everywoman Angela Barnes, remembers her father's appetite for jollity and packs herself a fantasy coffin. From 2019.

Award-winning comedian and super-sharp everywoman Angela Barnes, tackles life and love and, with the help of the audience, packs herself a fantasy coffin.

In part tribute to Angela's beloved late father - a larger than life gregarious character, he was a sex shop manager, naturist, and a big fan of caravans and pranks - Angela celebrates his carpe diem approach to life, and his motto "You Can't Take It With You".

When her father died suddenly in 2008, Angela and her family proved him wrong and stuffed his coffin with sentimental keepsakes for his final journey. Angela nominates objects that she would choose as mementoes of her life, and asks the audience to share their ideas.
