Magazines. Newspapers. Hard candies. Napkins from fast food places. These were all objects hoarded by the father of Stuart Allard. In this hilarious conversation, Stuart details his father’s eccentricities and how growing up in the Great Depression may have caused them.
Stuart also shares stories about his technology-averse mother, who thought computers were just a fad that would be gone in a few years. Plus, he reflects on his dad’s hidden first marriage and the friction caused by an ex-wife who was constantly trying to contact him.
Bio: Stuart Allard is the creator of the Facebook comedy page Stu News. He is also one half of the Chicago-based improv duo Flower Shop Bangers, who have been hosting Zoom variety shows every Sunday and Wednesday since the start of the pandemic.
