Mariella Frostrup cracks the menopause and the secret to Fringe success

Do you have a wondering womb? Do you fancy ice-cold water up the rectum? No to both? Women have been faced with (mainly male) misunderstanding and misdiagnosis of the menopause for centuries. Top broadcaster, Mariella Frostrup, and her friend, actress Gina Bellman, are bringing their show Cracking the Menopause to the Gilded Balloon and Mariella tells us all about what she’s doing to redress the balance.

Plus, Karen and Katy have a LOT of experience between them so, whether you’re a punter or a performer, they’re giving their top tips for a successful Fringe.

 And, listen to discover – amongst other things:- What is a third party Klanger?- Who frightened Karen backstage at Late and Live?- Why did two mild-mannered New Zealanders got a Koren telling off in the street?

Exactly. Why would you miss it?
