Hello, everyone. Happy Monday. Welcome to another episode of The Truth In My Opinion. I'm, of course, Cody Darla, or am I? Something to ponder there. This week, I was joined by the brilliant Davina Bentley. Davina is a stand-up comedian and sketch comedian extraordinaire who is taking a brand-new show to this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It will be performing at the Pleasance Courtyard in the cellar at 5:30 PM every day, and it is called Dancing While Old. This week, Davina brought me some fantastic headlines touching on everything from displaced swans in Hampstead Heath to incompetent lawyers to the largest police sting affecting the Norwegian antiques industry, I imagine, ever. A few bits of housekeeping from producer Becky. If you are listening to this podcast, then it would be great if you could follow it, uh, and maybe turn on notifications if your platform allows that.
