"Ticked all the right boxes. The audience loved it." - Edinburgh Evening News
Hormonal Housewives is an hilarious comedy written by husband and wife team Julie Coombe and John McIsaac and follows the lives of three women as they battle against weight gain, weight loss, mood swings, wine, PMS, men, going to the gym, waxing, stretch marks, men, chocolate, upper-lip hair, chocolate, men, chocolate ... and all the other joys of being a 21st Century girl....did we mention chocolate and men?!
"Coombe has moments of comic genius." - The Scotsman
