About this listen

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.

The performance and music for this is excellent. It's such a heavy topic but the writing and performance make it very entertaining. The Mum really is a twat and it's a shit experience. I hope this helps prevents other people becoming twats too.

Entertaining yet heavy topic

It’s far too short! The performance is great - made me LOL at times. I can’t believe that is all in this story?!
