Helen Thorn is an Australian-British comedian, writer, podcaster and one half of the Scummy Mummies comedy double act that she created with Ellie Gibson. She has spent the best part of a decade making mums everywhere feel less alone (and considerably more entertained), while turning the chaos of parenting and adult life into bestselling books, a hit podcast and numerous sell-out live shows.
Her latest book, How to Face Big Change and Come Back Stronger, is out now, drawing on the women who helped her through a very difficult few years of navigating the sudden, gut-punching end to her marriage followed by the grief of losing her darling mother.
Right now she’s touring the UK with Hot Mess, the new Scummy Mummies live show covering everything from menopause to mansplaining and training for a marathon without being able to run. In this episode, we hear how she’s managing it all!
In the glass…
