S5 Ep64: Work, saying No and time for celeb mums to be honest about the balance - with Kelly Convey

Host Hatty Ashdown is joined by stand up and mum Kelly Convey ( UniLAD, Comedy Central, BBC Three, Channel 4.) inbetween supporting Alan Carr on his UK tour) We got stuck right into an old natter about working with a baby, one in the oven, and the reality of the sacrifices and joys in comedy and parenthood. Kelly flagged up the uncomfortableness for parents in showbiz to say no to work, but really does time matter ? and while some celebs like to portray that they didn't have to make a choice between work or having a family, is it time for honesty from high profile mums about how they achieve their work/ kid balance ? and lots of snot out laughter as usual , stick on the kettle, unload the dishwasher its a nice short one !
