Amy Hetherington: Crying Over Spilt Milk

Comedy • Stand-up

Northern Territory • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

Award winning comedian and new parent Amy Hetherington is bringing her newborn baby and brand new show to Adelaide Fringe! And… she can’t afford a babysitter.

An hilarious, full-on hour of stand-up about the joy, pain and madness of parenting. And yes, expect the new arrival to be a chaotically fun part of the show!

Join the infectiously likeable Darwin comic for stories about sleep deprivation, weird advice from strangers, sore nipples and crying over spilt milk. A perfect show for new parents, would-be parents, or never-would-I-ever parents.

* Saturday matinee shows suitable for Mums & Bubs - BYO baby.

* This show may contain breastfeeding! If the baby is hungry, it will be fed.
