Funny Women

Audible has announced comedy partners Dawn French and Jennifer  Saunders are rolling up their sleeves and donning humiliatingly ill-fitting party hats to do what they do best: titting about – but this time, for a one-off festive special. 

Following the success of their smash hit comedy podcast, French and Saunders: Titting About  the comedy legends will be tackling the eccentricities, joy, and downright silliness of the holiday period in an unmissable holiday season edition, Titting About!, released exclusively on Audible Thursday 16th December. 

Listen in as Dawn and Jennifer give their handy hints on how to suck the joy out of Christmas (pro tip: walk around the living room with a black bin bag insisting you collect people’s wrapping paper); give unconventional advice on how to host a perfect Christmas (like telling everyone you are having a bath and hide), as well as answer the age-old question, “Can Dawn and Jennifer sing well-known Christmas carols without the words?”. Plus, in a tense, dramatic, escalating finale to the episode, we find out if Dawn and Jennifer know each other well enough to buy one another a Secret Santa present for less than £10 that won’t go straight into the bin.  

French and Saunders leave no stone unturned in this thorough quest to entertain, inform, and properly tit about! 

Titting About! joins a host of hilarious, critically acclaimed comedy content on Audible. Other recent highlights include series one and two  French and Saunders: Titting About as well as From the Oasthouse: The Alan Partridge Podcast (The Guardian – “a triumphant return”), The Special Relationship(Metro – “the writing is top-notch and the list of guest stars reads like a who’s who from both sides of the Atlantic”) and The Kurupt FM Podkast(winner of the Gold Comedy Podcast award at the 2020 British Podcast Awards). 

French & Saunders: Titting About! will be available exclusively here from 16th December 2021.
