Didn't Ask for Agony
Award winning comedians Kathryn Higgins and Ruby Carr are the agony aunts no one asked for. So instead, they are seeking to solve problems that have already been fixed by agony aunts of old. A modern feminist evaluation of 18th century problem's- sounds smart doesn't? Don't be fooled- this will stupidly silly.
Old problems, new advice, that no one asked for.
