Steve N Allen: Alzheimer's? I Can't Even Remember How to Spell It
Dementia isn't a laughing matter, but neither is the loss of both your parents during the pandemic and the tricky birth of your first child. And yet, somehow, that's what Steve N Allen has to play with and discusses in this show. Caring for someone with Alzheimer's has its funny moments, which some people feel bad talking about... But it's important to highlight that there are many lighter moments against the darkness.
