Tight Mums, Loose Units

After smashing Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Tight Mums are back for a knockout season at Melbourne Fringe Festival Hub.

A smorgasbord of stand-up comedy and song, four hot multicultural mammas give it to you straight with a hilarious spin on marriage, motherhood, divorce and dating. 2 happily married, 2 happily divorced gals from diverse cultures, they feel the pressures placed on women to be perfect wives and mothers - tightly wound, tight friends, tight bodies. But when they hit the stage, they’re loose units!

"These four bombshells hit the stage with a vengeance.... Be ready to be challenged, surprised and laugh till your guts hurt.... This fast-moving comedy spotlights four talented comedians who share stories of diversity ... and they hit the nail on the head every time... Completely relatable and disgustingly hilarious." - Weekend Notes
