Most mothers expect to help guide their child through puberty. But when your son is autistic, it's a whole different story. Welcome to Josephine's world. Expect visual aids, balloons, and a heartwarming insight into the relationship between mother and son, both determined to figure it out together. From Chortle's One To Watch (2023) and Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year nominee (2023). 'A comedy bombshell, just light the blue touch-paper and watch the mirth erupt' (BBC).
