My mum wasn't always a twat. But sometime after I turned 10, everything changed. She stopped taking me shopping. She regularly forgot my birthday. And she thought she could heal people.

One girl’s funny and honest account of losing her mum to a cult.

Susan Wokoma performs in this teen-spirited and gangsta-rap-fuelled survival guide to growing up with an actual twat as a mum.

Written by Anoushka Warden, directed by Debbie Hannan and music by The Last Skeptik, this version was produced by Fight in the Dog and Showroom Productions for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2019.

My Mum’s a Twat premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 2018. It was produced by Royal Court and Amy Powell Yeates.

Bittersweet, Fun, & Phenomenally Performed!

This really tickled a sweet spot between catharsis and being triggered. Sadly, I can relate, only the cult my parents dedicated themselves to, neglecting me, was being Yuppies and Tory twats.

Wokoma's performance is transcendent!

Wonderfully Written, Spectacularly Performed

The story is funny, saddening, interesting, angering and all sorts! I like the fact it was short and punchy and could be listened to in one sitting. The writer’s style of writing is hilarious and it is narrated perfectly!

Enjoyed this from start to finish

Susan Wokoma is one of my favourite actresses (since her Chewing gum and Crazyhead days) so naturally when I came cross this audio-book I was excited to sink into it, My Mum's a Twat is an intriguing look at modern cults and the reality of growing up with physically and emotionally vacant parents, the distinct narration of Wokoma serves to highlight the humorous aspects and the daunting reality of Warden's experiences. One thing I found was that the audio-book could have been presented in a more serious way veering more towards dark humor than straightforward narration however considering the length of the audio-book it's not too much a surprise. Overall left wanting to know more with less cynicism and more of a narrative flow.

Refreshing! Entertaining! Honest!
