Don’t Laugh But...

Welcome to Don’t Laugh But... - A podcast straight from the twatmosphere with comedian Kirsty Hudson and author Rebecca Elliott. To our minds there aren’t enough female, midlifer voices being heard just chatting about regular stuff (not just motherhood!) so here we are - finding the funny in this crazy thing called life. Every week, with the listeners help, we investigate a subject, sometimes heavy (death, disability...) sometimes light (parties, supermarkets...) in an honest yet friendly and (we hope), funny way. Think of it as going out for a coffee (or gin) with your best mates, but without the need to actually leave the house or offer to feed our pets when we’re away. Here’s a few of our reviews from our lovely ‘Butter’ family; “Love this! Really enjoying listening to you funny, erudite, eloquent women and thinking ’Oh my god, YES’ all the way through.” “I love the honesty, cutting humour, vulnerability, trust and so much more.” “If you’re looking for a different podcast, check this one out! I love the discussions! So real, intimate and funny.” Come join us. You’re very welcome. Rebecca and Kirsty xx Real women. Real stuff. Real stoopid.

Brace yourself for big revelations and shocking antics this week as Rebecca admits that she hates Kirsty's leopard print carpet and attempts an Irish accent and Kirsty confesses that she hates Eurovision and tries to recall why she used to smash a coconut every full moon. You have been warned.

Thruples, Twizzling Knobs and Mark

Good to be back from gardening leave, touching on all the hard-hitting subjects, from 4ft phalluces to twizzling knobs and bringing back all the old favourites from Rebecca's crevice with cows on flumes to flying fish cakes and deers in thruples. Enjoy.

Smear Tests, Agadoo & Sloths

This week we are delving in to deep dark galaxies, but it’s not all about Rebecca’s smear test, no we are visiting the Milky Way, stopping by the Diet of Worms, all set to a beautiful soundtrack of sloths screaming for their carnal pleasure whilst Kirsty sings Agadoo. Come and join us, and we can all be dangling horny bags of digesting leaves, together.

Flamboyance, Fridge Love and FYI

This week we’re weather beaten, yet still manage to stay full of drivel, from relations with Italian delivery men on the pool table to Bury St Edmund’s beloved Ouida and her purple pen of passion. From chalky atmospheres to talky twatmospheres to a cacophony of disastrous cake messages. Come join us in the bewildering world of Don’t laugh But, where failing is fabulous and mediocre a must. x

Birds, Bees and Waxy Mr T.s

From the birds and the bees to the centipedes… We’re coming at you this week with another (and we use the word loosely)  *fun* packed episode. We bring you Wisdom the 70 year old who’s just given birth again and whose mooing skills on the dance floor put the rest of us to shame. Cats that can type, a fight to the death in Argos ooh and of course it’s DLB book review week where we give our thoughts (because we don’t do that enough) on this month’s literary offering ‘The Making of Us’ by Lisa Jewell.  Enjoy and as always, wrap up warm. x

Roger Moore, Goats & Meteorites

It's that time again... your weekend dose of DLB, brightening your day, giving you the odd chuckle but mostly delivering the bliss and pleasure of being so grateful that you are not us.  This week we outdo ourselves.  Seriously...what other podcast is discussing the fearful nature of goats eyes, with a touch of superman’s sore knees? It’s pure and utter nonsense at its very best. We even spoil you with a smattering of Sir Roger Moore. Enjoy. x

Selfish Storks, Ketchup and Day Drinking

Ooh yes we are back in the podcasting saddle again. Trotting your way with this week’s bewildering beauty of an episode, for your listening pleasure. We really hit the hard stuff this week, from a lovely hole full of bird love (or is it bird betrayal?) to who knew that Pete the Plumber would be such a great fake dad?

Glen Medeiros, Plinths & Laminating

Our words are once again winging their way in to your ear area.  In this week’s exciting instalment we bewilder ourselves by delving into the ‘Bavaria Area’, ruminating on the benefits of ‘The DLB Hair Diet’ (patent pending) and Kirsty solves Rebecca’s pooping plinth problems.
