Funny Mummies

In this episode of Funny Mummies, Hatty catches up with old friend and regular guest Josie Long — the award-winning stand-up comedian, writer, filmmaker, BBC Shortcuts creator, author, and mum of two girls. Basically, one of Hatty’s favourite humans.They’re also joined by returning guest Dr. Jen Lamacq, child psychiatrist and educator, who helps us all feel a little better about that never-ending debate: kids and screen time.Together, they get honest about the guilt, confusion, and myths around social media and parenting — from “10-second Instagram advice” to the pressure of constant content. Jen helps unpack what’s actually true, what’s just oversimplified nonsense, and why we can probably all stop beating ourselves up about it.Mum Watch ; As always, you’ll also get TV Picks from your favourite TV watcher — Hatty’s sister Tracey, who does all the hard viewing so you don’t have to. Just sit back, crack open the bickies (or the Vickys ), and find out what to watch from the archives.You can watch the episode here - https://youtu.be/HTF5gRLe-UYProduced by Natalie King Hosted on Acast.

This week, Hatty is joined by the brilliant and award-winning Hannah George — writer, podcaster, new mum, and all-round excellent human. You might know her from the hit podcast Drunk Women Solving Crime (yes, she’s interviewed loads of famous people — including me, thank you very much).Hannah’s also written for everything from CBBC’s Waffle the Wonder Dog to Wolfblood, The Dumping Ground, Nickelodeon, Trolley, and loads more. Basically, she’s a legend with a long list of credits and she’s a mum.Join them for a really warm, funny chat about:The chaos of new motherhoodUnhelpful things people say (please stop!)The Work vs. Baby juggle (especially when you’re self-employed)Voice notes (just… don’t or yes Please?)So pop the kettle on, grab a biscuit (or five), and give yourself permission to sit down for once.

In this episode, Hatty Ashdown sits down with comedian, singer, and Welsh national treasure – the working-class pocket powerhouse Kelly Rickard - (Winner: Best in Class 2024., Edinburgh Festival Fringe show: Kelly Rickard: Free as a Bird).At a time when we really need this Kelly chats about her background and the self-consciousness that can come with being working class, but why you really can’t say the wrong thing to the right person. Together, Hatty and Kelly dive into why so many mums are drawn to stand-up comedy, juggling gigs with kids, and what makes a “working-class mum” in contrast to the world of middle-class gentle parenting influences.It turns into a big, honest, and funny conversation about class, culture, and motherhood – from the differences (and surprising similarities) between a Welsh upbringing and a Kent one, to the influence of soaps we watched as kids (when we really shouldn’t have been!).As always, you’ll also get forgotten TV gems in Mum Watch with Hatty’s sister TraceyYou can also watch the episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/HxqgcUXvHOg✨ Produced by Natalie King

🎙 New Episode: “Divorce, Edinburgh & Screaming in Cars”This week, Hatty Ashdown is joined by comedian, author, and mum of two Amy Mason (The Islanders and Mass, Free Mason Debut 2024 Edinburgh Fringe ****, Funny Women Finalist). In this wonderfully frank and funny chat, Amy talks about the fear of divorce, the avalanche of unsolicited advice from “well-meaning” people, and navigating a split during lockdown — complete with screaming-in-the-car moments.Six years on, Amy reveals why co-parenting as two separate partners is now easier than parenting when being together — they even do joint holidays and Christmases.

Welcome to a  new season of Funny Mummies podcast and a shiny new relaunch! Still  all the same funny mummy truths, but with even more laughs, no filter and no judgement . Keep it locked in as we have some exciting Guests coming up ! To kick us off Host Hatty Ashdown& Gemma Beagley spoke to a FM fav Alexis Strum. Alexis is a creative force that has wowed audiences with her hilarious stand-up, compelling writing and even a glittering pop career, but jumping into the world of TikTok in January took her on a whirlwind journey to an audience that truly embraced her. Alexis spills all on the highs and lows of her career, the brilliance and chaos of life as a single mum over 40,  and how if you really commit to believing in yourself, anything is possible!... and a little bit of delusion always helps !

Host Hatty Ashdown  is joined by stand up and mum Kelly Convey ( UniLAD, Comedy Central, BBC Three, Channel 4.) inbetween supporting Alan Carr on his  UK tour) We got stuck  right into an old natter about working with a baby, one in the oven, and the reality of the sacrifices and joys  in comedy and parenthood. Kelly flagged up  the  uncomfortableness for parents in showbiz   to say no to work, but really does time matter ? and while some celebs like to portray that they didn't have to make a choice between work or having a family,  is it time for  honesty from high profile mums about how they achieve their  work/ kid balance ? and lots of snot out laughter as usual , stick on the kettle, unload the dishwasher  its a nice short one !  you can follow Kelly at KellyConvey.com and catch her live ! Edited by Alex HollandYou can follow the Funny Mummies podcast on IG @funnymummies_podcastFacebook - Funny Mummies podcastHatty on @hattyashdown on IG & TwitterGemma on @gemma_beagley on IG & TwitterPLEASE  RATE, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE - it really does help more people find us -  so why not share the laughter .
