MOTHERFAKER

HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR A YEAR OFF WORK?

​

'The comedy gold standard' Stylist

​

Meet Barri Brown. Respected teacher. Upstanding citizen of Guernsey. Down for a bit of law-breaking . . .

​

Barri is preparing for a year’s paid maternity leave but there’s a catch:

She isn’t pregnant.

​

With seven foam bumps, a wardrobe full of smock dresses and a great pregnancy heist planned, all Barri has to do is blag it until she can disappear for good, without getting caught and being sent to prison for fraud. Child’s play.

​

But can she really get away with telling the mother of all lies?
