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 !

Welcome to a  new season of Funny Mummies podcast and a shiny new relaunch! Still  all the same funny mummy truths, but with even more laughs, no filter and no judgement . Keep it locked in as we have some exciting Guests coming up ! To kick us off Host Hatty Ashdown& Gemma Beagley spoke to a FM fav Alexis Strum. Alexis is a creative force that has wowed audiences with her hilarious stand-up, compelling writing and even a glittering pop career, but jumping into the world of TikTok in January took her on a whirlwind journey to an audience that truly embraced her. Alexis spills all on the highs and lows of her career, the brilliance and chaos of life as a single mum over 40,  and how if you really commit to believing in yourself, anything is possible!... and a little bit of delusion always helps !

This episode was Produced & Edited by Laura Elwood-Craig

New photo by Karla Gowlet ( I would like to declare here Gemma Beagley did not want to be in the new publicity shots, its not me takin over , she just likes to stay a mystery )
