Tamar Broadbent to Bring PLUS ONE to the Fringe This Summer
Tamar Broadbent: Plus One runs 7th -24th August and is a PWYW show on the Laughing Horse Free Fringe Festival.
Previously known for her funny songs about single life like Tube Ride of Shame, musical comedian Tamar Broadbent took some time away to get married and have a baby (and live in Amsterdam and sail around the world... but that's another story!) Now she's BACK with a brand-new show about pregnancy and new motherhood.
For Tamar ('Talented, bright and funny' - Michael Palin), motherhood has meant a lot of unexpected questions. What if your baby can't breastfeed, and you're in a hospital where saying 'Formula' is like saying Voldemort? What if you're usually a sensible person, but you still got accidentally brainwashed by the childbirth group that promised you the best method of pain relief was "breathing?" And, what if, after nine months, you can't imagine you could love anything more, but you also feel bereft that your belly button may never return?
Featuring 10 original songs by Tamar, performed live on the piano, including: 'A Mother's Place is in the Wrong!!!' 'I Tried Hard to Breastfeed, But It Sucked', 'Don't You Wanna Have a Natural Birth?!' and 'Alcohol, I'll Never Take You For Granted Again', Plus One is a hilarious and heartfelt look at how the world pressures women to have babies and then tries to persuade them they are doing every part of it wrong.
