Description

This is a podcast about finding the funny when the baby sh** hits the fan. Dubbed the punk rock of comedy by Phill Jupitus, Joanna Carolan and Pascale Wilson are comedians Shirley and Shirley. They do everything together. They even got up the duff together. But when it comes to raising their mini humans, they couldn’t do things more differently. These old school pals will bring their eye-popping honesty and pitch black humour to the airwaves. Join them as they compare notes on the pitfalls of parenting, their cock-ups and cocktails and the differences between raising a child with another woman versus a man. You can see live show dates and all things Shirley here: www.shirleyandshirley.com Produced by Mable Productions. Original music by Sacha Puttnam. Edited/Produced by Kez Sol Owens (@kezsolmedia)
