Magic of motherhood

Hit comedy show heads to Mount Gambier this week

After selling out multiple shows in Adelaide and recently making the Top Ten finalists for the AACTA Reg Grundy Award to make their own TV show, podcast sensation and comedy duo Shanelle Franklin and Tamara Linke (Motherhood a Beautiful Nightmare) are taking their hit live comedy show on the road.

Part of that tour will take in Mount Gambier this Friday at the Limestone Coast {antry. An ode to the mother who is flying by the seat of her pants, ‘What A Sham’ is a massive night of laughs. With songs, skits, chats and maybe even a singalong, Shanelle and Tamara never fail to leave a trail of laughter-induced bellyaches behind them.

The Motherhood a Beautiful Nightmare podcast lays bare the badassery of motherhood – now with six seasons under their belt, two major features by Apple Podcasts Australia and a guest spots on Mix 102.3. Shanelle and Tamara debuted their live show at Adelaide Fringe in 2022 – selling out a show and adding a second to meet demand before the Festival even started. In September they brought a new show to Adelaide – it was such a sell-out success that Shanelle & Tamara brought it back for an encore event to meet the demand for tickets, including the newly added Mount Gambier show.

Shanelle Franklin is a presenter, producer, podcaster, MC, voice over artist and writer who is based in Adelaide, South Australia. With a career in radio, television and the music industry spanning over a decade with brands such as Channel 9 Adelaide, SAFM, Fresh927, Foxtel, Music SA and the BBC, Shanelle also produced, directed and presented the series Jam Live for Channel 9 and 9Now.

A classically trained singer, composer and voice over artist, Tamara Linke has voiced for brands locally and internationally such as X-Box, the voice of YouTube Music Australia, GoDaddy and the Australian Radio Network. Tamara has presented weekend breakfast on Nova 919 and Fresh 927 and sang backup vocals for Michael Buble on his Mr. Irresponsible tour. An ode to the mother who is flying by the seat of her pants, these ladies will make you laugh until you cry. Grab your friends, a glass of bubbles and strap in for a night you won’t forget.
