BC:AD – Before Children, After Diapers 2024

BC:AD - Before Children, After Diapers

BC:AD (Before Children, After Diapers) is a standup comedy show and one mad,  mommy’s take on how the definitions of words change before and during motherhood. This show is an invitation to anyone that finds themselves slightly overdrawn, mostly obscure and definitely needing the sound of another voice to reason with their own challenges - be it parenting, identity or the infinite void between where we find ourselves and where we see ourselves in our daytime dreams. Through a number of stories from before she had children and after she changed loads of diapers, survived the institution called marriage and then found herself amidst two short roommates who insist on calling her ‘mom’, Anu paints a peripatetic picture of the life and times of a comedian, filmmaker and sometime engineer who loves endurance sports, including parenting.
