Two friends, one year, two births, a death, 18 bursts of laughter, 34,000 tears (each) and one piece of chunky jewellery.

It was a year to forget but instead Natasha and Jude turned it into a show. This is a comedy that bites. An achingly joyous celebration of sisterhood and motherhood, taking the audience on an emotional rollercoaster with open-hearted, brutal honesty. Held as 'Genuinely moving and life affirming' ★★★★ (Herald), these uncompromising performers team up with Olivier Award-nominated Ben Duke of Lost Dog to create this unflinchingly human and hilarious show.
