Summary
Our guest for this episode is comedy legend Arabella Weir! She tells us about being a single mum, dealing with teenagers, and how to survive being in the PTA.
There's some general chat about her career and the challenges of being a comedian who happens to own a vagina. We manage not to ask her if our bums look big in this, but we do find out about her time in The Fast Show, and how she feels about that catchphrase now.
You can follow Arabella on social media @arabellaweir. Her Edinburgh show, Does My Mum Loom Big In This? sold out, but an extra show has been added this Sunday - get your tickets now.
