About this episode
Jameela Jamil hosts a lively discussion with comedians Olivia Lee and Cariad Lloyd about neurodiversity, parenting challenges, and comedic experiences.
Writer, comedian, and actor Olivia Lee ( Balls of Steel, T4 , The Tonight Show with Jay Leno ) and writer, actor, podcaster, and comedian Cariad Lloyd ( Griefcast , Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club podcasts, Austentatious , and new book Where Did She Go? ) for an episode that asks, where even are the neurotypicals? Cariad shares about her days doing character comedy, specifically her alter ego the Sanitary Bag Lady - a woman dressed as a bathroom disposal bag who screams at men about periods - and the night a man in the audience stood up to fight her. Olivia tells us about a perimenopause-induced sleep crisis, a celebrity neighbour's black market melatonin, and no memory of whether she'd dropped her children off at school. Jameela tells the stories of a lamp falling out of the sky and splitting her head open at 19, her caffeine withdrawal hallucinations during her own T4 days, and why marshmallow crocodiles will always be her #1. Plus high speed childbirth, music festival flatulence, 50 hour marathon improv psychosis, and a husband who was still holding his salt beef sandwich when the crash team arrived.
