Summary

Tessa and Stevie get very hot and upset at their own birthday parties and neither can imagine coping with being a bride at a wedding. Thankfully this week they work out ways you can gracefully accept a compliment, not explode at your 30th and own being the centre of attention. The fact that they do live comedy and can’t cope with a birthday party is baffling but the lord moves in mysterious ways.

Produced and edited by Ben Williams for Plosive Productions.
