    FUNNY DAD SPECIAL TWO
    Host Hatty Ashdown & Gemma Beagley are joined by Bristolian born comedian, famed Terry the odd job man, Leicester Comedy Award nominee and dad of two Jody Kamali. They fly around all the topics from childish jealousy ,New York, how being a  working class comic has  effected our progression and how Best in Class really woke us up ( big shout out to Sian Davies ) " instead of working on our craft we are in a Tesco car park dressed as the honey monster " and how he wouldn't be where he is now with out his single mum upbringing. Pack the kids a salad cream sandwich and shove them in the garden, wack on the kettle  for a great  listen !

Noseynin ,

Love this podcast. Always funny

Funny & Insightful Guests

I really look forward to the Funny Mummies podcast. It’s not preachy, it’s just sharing experiences of being a parent. They cover loads of useful topics such as friendships and childcare. Keep going!

Amy-f-b ,

Hilarious, refreshing and grounding

LOVE this podcast! So refreshing to hear the realities of parenting - the good, the bad, the ugly, and to laugh along with it all too.

As well as many light-hearted takes on various parenting moments, there are some really grounding and moving interviews and stories too. It’s been very welcome company during my mat leave.

Unpretentious, witty and perfect for pounding the pavements in the pouring rain with a pram. Be warned, it may make you snort with laughter at a passing stranger.
