About this listen

 This is a podcast about finding the funny when the baby sh** hits the fan. Dubbed the punk rock of comedy by Phill Jupitus, Joanna Carolan and Pascale Wilson are comedians Shirley and Shirley. They do everything together. They even got up the duff together. But when it comes to raising their mini humans, they couldn’t do things more differently. These old school pals will bring their eye-popping honesty and pitch black humour to the airwaves. Join them as they compare notes on the pitfalls of parenting, their cock-ups and cocktails and the differences between raising a child with another woman versus a man. You can see live show dates and all things Shirley here: www.shirleyandshirley.com Produced by Mable Productions. Original music by Sacha Puttnam. Edited/Produced by Kez Sol Owens (@kezsolmedia)

    A Swathe of Mum-friends
    Dec 16 2025

    This week, the long Shirley stuns and entertains her house guests - against their will. The short Shirley powers through a magnesium deficiency to escape an academic K-hole, the ladies give a podcast recommendation (as if you need one) and there's more drama at the Beckham household.
