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.

Remember Nick Hoult in the movie About a Boy, where he copes with being a teenager in London under his granola, hippie mum? Imagine if Hugh Grant’s character never came along and instead precocious Hoult was lost down a path to delinquency. Now imagine Hoult’s Mystikal rap-loving self as a profane twenty something woman unloading on her therapy group, raging for the whole hour about how her mum joined a cult when she was ten and she effectively lost her mum and her innocence. She tells her tale from age 10 to 20 with F bombs and words like c*nt and twat. You can sense her frustration and anger at her mum, but really more at the cult who preyed upon her. You also see the screwed up mess of a childhood left to her, including hard drugs, sex and crime before age 15. This is Sandra Bernhardt or Andrew Dice Clay raw, where the “humor” is visceral and cuts deep. This biographic cautionary tale of cults and parenting is worth a listen as an Audible freebie, if you can stand the sharp, biting edges. The narrator’s streetwise British accent was perfect, although I felt the acidic monologue played better at 1.3x speed.

If About a Boy was a mouthy girl in therapy group

Really, this is a pointless story. It’s neither relatable nor enjoyable. I’m truly embarrassed for the author.

Whiny and pointless

Fantastic in every sense of the word. From the story, to the reading, to the accompanying music. Everyone should take the 1 hr and 7 mins to listen to this.

So Good!

This book was witty and real. The performance made it interesting. I could see myself and my relationship with both my mom and daughter in some of the story. Different circumstances, similar feelings.

Witty and Real

There wasn’t anything about it that I didn’t like. I will listen to it again.

I freaking loved this!

It is really difficult to pull off this type of memoir without sounding maudlin, and self-pitying. the weird thing is she is full of self-pity, and anger, but you don't care because she is also full of spunk, and self-awareness, and understanding of her mother's vulnerability to the cult's influence. I just couldn't help rooting for for this young woman.

wow wow wow

I'm sorry your mom is, was & continues to be a twat. I love the happy ending of you having a good life although I know there are some periods of sadness. I wish, as I'm sure you do, that she had PREVAILED and DEFEATED that fucking fuck brainwashing centre. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ULTIMATE. You are a great writer with an EXCELLENT narrator choice. She brought your life to life(LoL). Continue and good luck.

AWESOME!

The narrator is great! The story is definitely worth listening to... especially if you needs something interesting and entertaining and have only about an hour to listen! 👍 Although the author (and narrator) are successful at making this story funny and entertaining, I can't help but feel a little angry towards the mother, and sad at the degeneration then ultimate loss of the mother-daughter relationship in the story.

Entertaining and great for a quick listen!

We all remember the pre-teen and teenaged angst. Add to that a mom who joins a cult and you have this remarkable story that is performed amazingly! I could feel her pain, I could picture everything she described, and the use of language is so realistic. It is worth a listen.

Real angst...
