About the Show
More Joy: A Mumoir is a joyful solo show about the chaos of early motherhood and the importance of seeking out joy, no matter what havoc life throws at us.
It’s an Eat-Pray-Love tale, about a frazzled, first-time Mum, who doesn’t have the luxury of a trip to Italy or Bali because her small kids are either hanging off her leaky boobs, or are down A&E having eaten the mushroom chocolate!
A pastiche of real-life storytelling, characters & dream sequence randomness. Told by Suzannah Butcher
