Comedian Rosie Wilby brings her monologue show 'The Breakup Monologues' to The Bullingdon, as a live podcast recording at IF Oxford, the Oxfordshire Science Festival.
Rosie Wilby brings The Breakup Monologues to The Bullingdon on Monday 26 October, as part of IF Oxford. It's a live podcast recording, and the episode is titled Artificial Intimacy?.
Wilby's built a bit of a name for herself around this subject — BBC Radio 4 called her the 'queen of breakups', and The Breakup Monologues became a hit as both a podcast and a book. Her first title, Is Monogamy Dead?, was longlisted for the Polari First Book Prize in 2018. Here she returns to the human condition with a mix of humour, heartache and science, and this particular episode is framed as a personal take on the public debates about AI, which usually stick to work, safety and policy. It sits alongside a double bill of events exploring trust, truth and versions of reality.
