More details

Post prison, with CV's that cover everything from tax fraud, to stalking a high profile TV personality, Flick and Julie had to get their lives back on track. The unlikely pairing formed a strong friendship behind bars and then a pop-up, money saving advice shop upon release - its roaring success has meant you'll find them popping up everywhere from skips to Scotland. They share their experiences and give advice, through comedy sketches and songs. Their aim - helping you to survive in the modern age, on 1970's wages.
