Returning to MAST Mayflower Studios after a sell-out show last year, Ellie and Helen are back as they celebrate 10 years of touring their hit comedy show to sold out audiences across the country on Thursday 14 September.
Now they are bringing all their most-loved songs, sketches, and stand-up for a night that will make you laugh till you wee.
Guaranteed to make you feel normal about your parenting skills, or very smug about being child-free.
Pop a panty liner in, and let’s party!
Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn joined forces to become The Scummy Mummies in 2013.
They have since gone on to produce an award-winning podcast, a sell-out touring comedy show, a popular book, and their own range of merchandise.
They have an ever-growing social media presence, with more than 170,000 followers on Instagram.
There are now over 200 episodes of The Scummy Mummies Podcast, and they have been downloaded more than 5 million times in 150 countries. The show has featured in best podcast lists in The Guardian, the Sunday Times, and The Telegraph.
It has been nominated for a British Podcasts Award plus Mixcloud and Lovies awards, and in 2020 won the Glomama UK Best Podcast trophy.
Their first book, Scummy Mummies, was released in March 2017 and reached the top 20 on the Amazon chart.
It went to number one in the Child Discipline category, weirdly.
Ellie and Helen have also written for The Guardian, The Telegraph, Metro, Glamour, Red and more.
The Scummy Mummies have featured on ITV’s Lorraine, Good Morning Britain, Victoria Derbyshire, The Wright Stuff, Sky News, and in Australia, The Morning Show and Sunrise.
Ellie is also an award-winning games journalist. She appeared as the games expert on hit Dave show Dara O Briain’s Go 8 Bit. She presented the spin-off, Go 8 Bit DLC, and was the first woman ever to host a show on Dave.
Together with The Guardian’s Keza MacDonald, she co-hosts the Extra Life games podcast.
Helen is a Sunday Times Bestselling author. Her debut book, Get Divorced, Be Happy, was an instant hit.
She performed a sell-out run of her solo stand-up show, Thorny Questions, at the 2017 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and she also hosts her own hit podcast, Fat Lot of Good.
