Event Details
Rob Beckett & Josh Widdicombe's Parenting Hell Live bring their amazing podcast to Birmingham!
Building on the success of their hilariously candid podcast Parenting Hell, revealing the highs and lows of being a parent, comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe have announced a live version in Spring 2023.
Originally billed Lockdown Parenting Hell, the duo's podcast was a way for Widdicombe and Beckett (and millions of parents around the country) to vent about the stresses of parenting in an age of social distancing and confinement. Finding universal appeal, the weekly podcast continued beyond lockdowns, and is now into its fourth series and with over 35 million downloads.
