My Aunt Mabel
This is the story of a single mother who went from ordinary housewife in 1925 to one of the UK’s most beloved comedians.
And she has been forgotten by history.
As told by her (great-great) nephew, this five-part podcast looks at Mabel Constanduros ‘s extraordinary journey to becoming a trailblazing creative force in British entertainment for over three decades.
Major shifts in society, media and entertainment, of which Mabel was part, were taking place a century ago – parallels which ring true in today’s world.
