Comedy reveals the truths and trials of motherhood

A hilarious and heart-warming show written by Linda A Carson, Jill Daum, Alison Kelly, Robin Nichol, Barbara Pollard and Deborah Williams, the witty and entertaining show is touring the UK this Autumn.

It stars Eastenders Gemma Bissix, the comic actress Sarah Dearlove from Housewives on Holiday’ and introduces the talented Amy Ambrose.

Gemma is best known for her role as Clare Bates in Eastenders, she was in the show for six years from the age of nine. She went back to Eastenders in 2008 to reprise her role after achieving success as evil Clare Devine in three series of Hollyoaks. She has won various awards for this role, including ‘Villain of the Year’ at the British Soap Awards. She also appeared on Dancing On Ice and then she reached the quarter finals on Celebrity Master Chef.

Sure to strike a nerve with ‘Mum’s the Word’ is a series of sketches navigating the trials, tribulations and ultimate joys of motherhood. Three mums share stories too embarrassing and too personal to tell even their closest friends.

Based on experiences all mothers share, this is group therapy like never before The mother of all shows, it features the stuff nobody tells you about parenthood…until it’s too late.

Whether it is leaving the house without your bra, crying in the supermarket aisles for no reason or secretly thinking you had given birth to E.T., you will not feel alone when listening to these women portray the ‘beauty’ of bringing new life into the world…or forgetting where they left it. A seriously funny evening, no subject is taboo or too private and what these women cannot teach you about motherhood is not worth knowing.

Producer Anna Anikeyeva said: “As a mum-to-be, this show has me both splitting at the sides and overwhelmed with emotion, it is everything I didn’t know me and my friends needed.”

‘Mum’s The Word’ will be staged on Saturday, October 29 and tickets are available from www.ticketsource.co.uk.
