On paper, Sophie Willan’s hit BBC show Alma’s Not Normal does not read as your every day, roll on the floor laughing type of comedy.
The semi-autobiographical show sees Sophie take on the central role of Alma, who is trying to support her drug addict mother all while turning to escorting in a bid to earn more than her weekly amount of Universal Credit so she can become an actor.
Set in and around Sophie’s hometown of Bolton, the show has been incredibly well-received - earning glowing five star reviews and a BAFTA win for Comedy Writing.
