This is a podcast about finding the funny when the baby sh** hits the fan. Dubbed the punk rock of comedy by Phill Jupitus, Joanna Carolan and Pascale Wilson are comedians Shirley and Shirley. They do everything together. They even got up the duff together. But when it comes to raising their mini humans, they couldn’t do things more differently. These old school pals will bring their eye-popping honesty and pitch black humour to the airwaves. Join them as they compare notes on the pitfalls of parenting, their cock-ups and cocktails and the differences between raising a child with another woman versus a man. You can see live show dates and all things Shirley here: www.shirleyandshirley.com Produced by Mable Productions. Original music by Sacha Puttnam. Edited/Produced by Kez Sol Owens (@kezsolmedia)

Back to School Thank Goodness
After a long, sweaty summer, the Shirleys are back. So are Megham and Harry. Lots to discuss, including missed flights, sparring with the mother-in-law and weeping at the school gates.

I'm Gonna Put It on Vinted
The Shirleys celebrate their birthdays—same day, three years apart. They discuss Jimmy Choos going missing on Vinted, being buried in bog roll, and a day in Tesco with former goalkeeper, David Seaman.
