AN EVENING WITH THE GOOD ENOUGH MUMS CLUB Comes to Birmingham Hippodrome Next Month
Learn more about the upcoming tour, and all of the dates, here!
In the safety of a local community hall, five mothers regularly meet with their young children, to share, compare, commiserate and comfort one another through the tough first years of motherhood.
The Good Enough Mums Club is a new musical, produced, written, directed and performed by mums, featuring songs such as "Only My Nose Is The Same", "The Price To Be Paid" and "WTF's Up With Kid's TV?". Toddle through the highs, lows and sleep deprivation of motherhood. From peeing on sticks to drooping tits, they share the love and dispel the myths with enough wipes on hand to mop the tears and clean away the snotty laughter. When the Council threatens to close their local playgroup, five women thrown together by motherhood, overcome their isolation, loneliness, judgment and perfectionism to discover that they're stronger as a group than as individuals, and that sometimes, being good enough is best. An Evening With The Good Enough Mums Club is a concert tour ahead of the full musical tour in 2023.
Writer Emily Beecher said, "The Good Enough Mums Club grew out of my own darkest days of motherhood fighting postnatal depression and postnatal psychosis. When I shared my story, other women shared their own experiences with me, and it was so brilliant to realise all these things I thought I had been alone in were actually things that connected us. After the incredibly difficult last 18 months I think we need to, more than ever remember we're in this together and celebrate all the things, good and bad, that unite us as mums."
The Good Enough Mums Club podcast is entering its second season during the tour. Please listen the season one here https://www.goodenoughmumsclub.com/podcast or on all major podcast platforms.
