Catherine sounds like a lovely, heartfelt jovial person, but the stories portrayed here were lacking any real comedic impact.
The whole thing ended up feeling like it was like a grown up version of a children’s daytime tv show, especially since she has that kind of voice adults put on when talking down to a child, which in itself was especially weird when talking about going through menopause.

I’m not exactly sure who this audio series’s audience is supposed to be, but it surely isn’t for the more seasoned or sophisticated comedy fan or someone looking for opportunities to laugh out loud.

I hope Catherine finds her niche/audience that better makes use of her upbeat demeanour and go getter attitude.

I loved this series. Especially episode 2. that was my favourite. I laughed so hard.

Wonderful diversity in characters representing what I really see around me in the world.

And expertly crafted with nice jokes within jokes sprinkled in.

I had never heard of this comedian/writer before but will be checking out more of her work after this podcast.

Hilarious

Typically comedy includes jokes.
The first sketch goes like this:
1. Two woman are talking about how terrible the world is and how we are all going to die.
2. The first woman suggests they kill themselves early. The second woman, agrees.
3. The end.
What part of that was supposed to be the joke? Was it that you delivered it in the voice of a five year old? This is literally the opposite of a joke.. its just depressing.

Not even comedy

This was just painful. Every skit was an absolute labour to get through. Who is the audience for this? Young mothers angry at the world and the only way that they can get back at it is by this incipit woke drivel. "We're being so funny and insightful, giggle". I feel bad for writing a negative review but no one should have to live through this.

Child level humour with swearing
