Mark Bittlestone ("TikTok Poof") on losing his mum and dad before finishing uni (mom, relationships)

In this touching episode Mark opens up about losing both his parents - mum during his A-Levels and Dad during his university finals (he still got a double first from Cambridge - a fact he reminded me of during our chat). Although on stage (he's a thriving comedian) punters mistake Mark for a "boy" as an adult he has taken TikTok by storm with a series of videos looking at the idiosyncracies of gay life, imaginatively called "poofsRus". Hear more from Mark on using his comedy to cope with grief in this episode of My Mum Made Me.
