A breed that isn’t exactly considered even novices when it comes to addressing emotions head on.

Katherine regularly has audiences in stitches with her take on being a lazy mum, and now brings you Muthering Heights, a show on her take of being a mother of a lot of kids, someone who has been through the full spectrum of motherhood from babies to ‘big’ babies (aka adults) who’ve left home and ‘unfortunately’ come back again! Touching on almost everything you can think of that happens with being a mum, from dealing with sibling rivalry, to putting up with their friends, to questioning which is worst, toddlers or teenagers, Katherine serves up a sardonic take on mothering. ...

Some props will be more "normal" whereas some will really venture into weird and wacky territory. A test of comedians' ability to improv and ad lib by trying to incorporate the prop as best as possible into their pre-existing routine or riff completely based on said prop. ...
