In GBA 215 we get better acquainted with Cameryn Moore.  She talks about her shows Phone Whore, Smut Slam Caberet and Slut (R)evolution, the ethics around making art about difficult subjects; responsibility, accountability and authenticity, balancing doing phone sex work and being a touring artist, fat acceptance, authentic sexuality, "bigot comedy bingo" and more.

FROM HEAVEN TO HELL
Saturday 1 – Monday 3 July, 7.30pm, £7.
Salford Arts Theatre, Kemsing Walk Off Liverpool St Salford M5 4BS
Two men join the Salford Pals in the First World War and form an unlikely friendship. Before they head off to war they experience fun, laughter and love. The story contrasts life at the front and experiences in the 1916 Battle of the Somme with the women left behind in Salford. The Story not only focuses on the men fighting, but on the relationships between them and the women left behind and the women's viewpoints and struggles as they adjust to life without their partners.  
The play is based on true events and is dedicated to the 24 officers and 650 men from the 1st Salford Pals who fought at the battle of the Somme. Within 30 minutes 21 officers and 449 men became casualties.
A percentage of all tickets sales will be donated to the British Legion charity.
