About Carol Johnson
MOM! WTF!! is a 45-minute comedy confessional from Carol Johnson, performed at Ivy Studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show explores what it meant to be raised by a happy homemaker in the era of free love and free-range parenting — and how Johnson somehow still became a mother herself. It combines sharp stand-up, raw honesty and a cheeky women's-rights sing-along, unpacking the drama that mothers pass down like heirlooms. The show includes audience participation and some strong language. Tickets are £8 (£6 concession). Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A disarmingly honest comedy confessional about the complicated inheritance of motherhood. Carol Johnson mixes stand-up with a women's-rights sing-along for a show that earns its laughs through candour rather than spectacle — recognisable, warm and sharp.
