Summary

How do you cope with the anxiety of parenthood? Is wearing make-up anti-feminist? And what's the most fun way to dispose of a prophylactic after sex? Helping us answer all these questions is the hilarious Harriet Kemsley!

She tells us all about her new Edinburgh show, and what it was like to get back on stage just one month after having a baby. We hear how having dyspraxia has affected her experience of motherhood, and why she believes marrying another stand-up comedian was a terrible mistake.

Then it's time for some Unsolicited Advice, where we share our ultimate life hack, involving a cardboard box. And things get heated as talk turns to the bedroom - specifically Helen's, and what's underneath the bed.

Harriet's show, Honeysuckle, is on from 2 - 25 August at Monkey Barrel in Edinburgh, and then she's touring all around the UK. Tickets are available from harrietkemsley.com.

**EDINBURGH KLAXON** Tickets for our Fringe show are available NOW! Get yours from Underbellyedinburgh.co.uk. We are there from 18 - 27 August.

**WE HAVE A SHOP!** Visit scummymummiesshop.com for our ace t-shirts, mugs, washbags, sweatshirts and beach towels. FREE UK DELIVERY!

Tickets for our 2022 shows are now on sale - we are coming to Portsmouth, Southampton, Worthing, Bath, Dorking, Chipping Campden, Leamington Spa, Trowbridge, Nottingham, Stroud - and new dates are being added all the time, with a big northern tour in the works for 2023!
