Comedian Stuart Mitchell examines his own cost of living crisis. Stuart looks back at the death of his mum and just when he finds himself back on his feet and truly happy, he receives devastating news about his dad.

Each episode, Stuart looks at a chapter of his own unbelievable, but absolutely true, life story.
A working class boy, with huge aspirations, Stuart achieved everything he dreamed of and more. However, he soon came to realise that the cost of having everything was more than he was willing to pay. A morality tale featuring his time working in Westminster, moving to a highly paid job in banking and willingly losing it all to find happiness; Stuart will make us all question the true cost of living.
