What happens when a single mum can’t find a babysitter… but still has a show to run? She brings the kid – and the jokes. “I Couldn’t Find a Babysitter” is a wildly interactive clown-comedy about motherhood, survival, and complete theatrical chaos. Mae Da recreates the stages of becoming a mum — from pregnancy and birth to nappies and public humiliation. A clown show about motherhood. There will be animals. For audiences aged 1 month to 1200 months.
