After smashing Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Melbourne Fringe and Geelong Comedy Festival with sold out shows, the Tight Mums bring their milkshakes to Adelaide Fringe Festival this March.
A smorgasbord of stand-up comedy and song, four hot diverse mammas give it to you straight with a hysterical spin on marriage, motherhood, divorce and dating.
Featuring three dysfunctionally married and one happily divorced gal, they feel pressure to be perfect wives and mothers – tightly wound, tight friends, tight bodies; but when they hit the stage, they’re loose units!
Tight Mums, Loose Units are the proud recipients of a 2024 Digital Marketing Grant, courtesy of Arts Unlimited and Arts SA.
Pradeepa Timmermans has opened for Dave O’Neil, Tom Gleeson, Anne Edmonds & Joe White. Pradeepa has 4 MICF shows under her belt and a podcast Uncomfortable Truths, where she interviews comedians.

“These four bombshells hit the stage with a vengeance… Be ready to be challenged, surprised and laugh till your guts hurt… Completely relatable and disgustingly hilarious.” – Weekend Notes
