Tight Mums Loose Units
A combination of stand-up comedy and songs about motherhood, marriage, divorce, dating friendship and performing. From four diverse backgrounds, we feel the same pressures placed on women to be perfect wives, mothers, friends and employees. As mothers, we keep ourselves 'tight' - tightly wound, tight friends, tight bodies, but when we hit the stage, we're loose units!
