Rachel Parris - You're Booked
Episode 197
Sunday, 2 November, 2025
It's Jane Austen's 250th birthday! And we can't think of a better way to celebrate than a conversation with the fabulous stand-up, actor, improviser and author Rachel Parris! Rachel's Austen credentials are acute. As well as being a founding member of the amazing Austen-inspired improv group Austentatious, alongside former YB guests Cariad Lloyd and Andrew Hunter Murray, her first novel, Introducing Mrs Collins, is a sequel, of sorts, to Pride and Prejudice. We talked to Rachel about Jane Austen (a lot), regency sex scenes, bookish palate cleansers and an adult version of the Jolly Postman. Discover more about the titles mentioned at our Bookshop.org shop. Find out more about Daisy's upcoming live events at her Creative Confidence Clinic.
