Comedy, motherhood, hot pants, and postpartum anxiety.

Comedian and mother of two, Iliza Shlesinger, knows just how much energy parenting takes. She’s juggling the chaos of mum brain, managing family life, and dominating the road as one of the most successful comedians in the world.

She’s full of great advice, avoids reading online comments, and—thanks to her chef husband— is always well-fed. Plus, both her husband and her beloved dog, Blanch, make a special appearance.

What you’ll hear:

• How postpartum anxiety and brain fog changed her perspective
• Why she believes in women supporting women—especially mothers
• The reality of balancing comedy, parenting, and marriage
• Her latest stand-up special, A Different Animal
• Why she makes jokes about women and for them

A Different Animal is out on the 11th March, you can watch it here. And if you want to see Iliza when she comes to Australia, you can get tickets here.
