About this listen

From TV's award-winning comedy mum and the writer of Hullraisers, Lucy Beaumont, comes her hilarious debut on the trials and tribulations of motherhood.

Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this brilliant and laugh-out-loud 'mumoir'. Mums everywhere will recognise the madness of it all. Like when Lucy was hospitalised during her third trimester with chest pains but it turned out to be a burrito. Or when she was so tired at the park she forgot her own child's name.

Heart-warming and laugh-out-loud funny, Drinking Custard also captures Lucy's marriage to comedian Jon Richardson, as they navigate Lucy's raging pregnancy hormones and balk at pram prices together.

Get ready to make room on mum's bookshelf for Drinking Custard to sit alongside other mum classics such as Why Mummy Drinks, Hurrah for Gin! and The Unmumsy Mum.

Critic reviews

"A very funny, honest look at the ups and downs of parenting. I absolutely loved it." (Emily Dean, host of Walking the Dog)

"As a mum of two girls, I was nodding, laughing and emotional. I recognised so much of Lucy's journey in my own.... I really loved it." (YolanDa Brown, BBC Loose Ends)

"Warning: so funny, even the strongest pelvic floors will be tested." (Net Mums)

"Lucy, a favourite comic of mine, manages to shed new light on something so universal. Her reaction to parenting is ridiculously refreshing and loaded with guilty laugh out loud honesty. After the school run, I implore you to pick a page, any page, then realise you're not alone. A gentle funny stroke of parenting genius." (Johnny Vegas)

Lucy is so unapologetically herself!

This book was such a delight! The ending made me tear up because I knew exactly what that feeling was. I love Lucy’s northern/Hull accent. I also love the way Lucy is so authentic. Everything we see now days is so generated and staged. It’s so refreshing to hear Lucy’s take on being a snob/down to earth. I love the little quips from Jon and I love that little talking frog who lets us know that life in general is going to take the piss. It’s all about rolling with it and this book is proof after proof that no matter what you just gotta keep rolling with it.

I adore it!

I enjoyed Lucy’s book so much that I didn’t want it to be over. And when I finished it, I started to listen all over again! She’s so honest about her motherhood journey and herself and is incredibly welcoming to the reader/listener. Oh, and it’s HILARIOUS!! Thank you, Lucy!
