The Scummy Mummies Podcast

Our guest for this episode is the brilliant Sheyi Martins-Allen. You might know her for her political rants on Instagram, her hilarious agony aunting, or her strong views on adapting Pride and Prejudice for the small screen. She is also a fantastic singer - she tells us how her recent show went, and about her plans for the future. We find out how she became friendly with Dolly Alderton, how she deals with Trump supporters in her DMs, and why her Dad is struggling with the behaviour of Brooklyn Beckham. Plus: we discuss the use of humour to talk about politics, and teach Sheyi a new and unpleasant word. We finish with some Confessions involving a series of unfortunate incidents at the Stratford Upon Avon Literary festival, and school run politics. Do go and check out Sheyi's Instagram account, we love it - @sheyimartinsallenWe are on tour!

Vasectomies, pornography, dick jokes and poo logistics - we cover it all with the help of hilarious comedian and actor, Sam Pamphilon! Sam tells us all about what it was like to have the snip, in graphic detail. We hear about the brilliant short film he recently starred in - The Man That I Wave At. And we discuss the sketch we tried out that was so filthy it never made it into the main Scummy Mummies show. Of course we finish with some confessions, involving language barriers, removal men, and a big old Dad Fail. IT'S TIIIIME!

Imagine taking up athletics in your forties, discovering you're great at the triple jump, and going on to set a brand new record. That's what Emily Murray (aka @pinkhouseliving) did - and she's here to tell us all about it. We learn about the Masters Athletics Federation, and how they offer people of all ages the chance to compete for actual medals. We discuss the pros and cons of being a super competitive person, and Emily explains how her perspective on winning has changed over the years. There's also some chat about writing novels, the new Lily Allen album, and whether King Charles is really that much better than the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew. Of course, we finish up with some Scummy Mummy Confessions - this time involving lube, shouting, and a drunken trip to Sainsbury's. Follow Emily on Instagram @pinkhouseliving, and look out for her novel in 2027. WE ARE ON TOUR!

Our guest for this episode is the awesome author Julia Raeside. She tells us about her brilliant and very funny book about women taking on toxic men in comedy, Don't Make Me Laugh.We discuss why so many comedians turn out to be dreadful, and how working together is the key to effecting change. Julia talks about the reactions her book has had so far and why it seems to be resonating with so many people. There's also a bit of chat about the writing process - why is it so difficult? What should you do when you feel like packing it in? And which is harder, writing a book or running a marathon? Julia helps us try to answer these questions, and shares her top tip for getting your first draft finished. We round off with some classic Scummy Mummy Confessions involving McDonald's, cat diarrhoea, and lying to children about sex.Julia's book is out now in paperback and you can follow her on Instagram @juliaraesidewriter.**AUTUMN TOUR TIME!** Yes we are hitting the road again this month with our new for 2025 show, HOT MESS!

What's the best way to dispose of a sex toy? Do cats have nails? And is it wrong to take a piss in your cheating husband's bathwater? Nobody is asking these questions, but we attempt to answer them anyway in this special episode! As we take a break from gigging for the summer, we reflect on the opening leg of our Hot Mess tour, and share some of our favourite confessions from those first 43 shows.

Our guest for this episode is the hilarious actor and social media star Clara Batten! We talk about everything from writing books and kickstarting your career to what it's like to have dinner with Boris Johnson. Clara tells us how she makes her brilliant reaction videos, and what the people she's reacting to make of them. We discuss how she got banned and then unbanned from Instagram, and how her comedy has helped her return to acting after a 20 year break. We also talk about Clara's desert island drinks, her exciting new project with a close personal friend of ours, and we play a quick round of Wine Game. To finish, there are some superb Scummy Mummy Confessions, and Helen rounds everything off nicely by spectacularly insulting our guest. You can follow Clara on the socials @clara_batten_.
