Don’t Laugh But...

This week we bring you our specialist subject... stupidity and boy do we put the stupe in idity... We savour out stupid moments from being able to turn a phrase but having no clue where Denmark is (does anyone?) to questioning whether wind turbines run on electricity. Kirsty does not so much push the envelope this week as lick it. Rebecca ponders on escalators to the moon. If you listen to this yo...

The glitter balls are spinning through a glitterati of cha cha chatting around that juxtaposition that is feeling like the goddess you are whilst simultaneously falling backwards onto the dance floor and showing your knickers to your grandma. How has dance helped us move forward in our life stories ... from Kirsty wanting to break dance to Rebecca being all coy and pretending that she hates dancin...

Morality - is it still relevant? Is there any other point to it but to confuse Rebecca and Kirsty ... we knew we were out of depth but dove in anyway. The conversation is the verbal equivalent of the PG version of ET where guns were replaced by walkie talkies - unnecessary and leaves you feeling 'what the hell is going on?' The saving grace as always is our beautiful butters with some funny yet da...

Come chill in the coffee shop with Don’t Laugh But, except we are not actually in a coffee shop and we're not even sure if we even like coffee or just all the fixings that make it play on palate and give us the kick that only caffeine can. Flirting with all the big topics like is there a right way to order coffee? Is there such things as a fresh toilet in a coffee shop? Is the reason there are so...

Blame! I’m going to live forever ...and it’s all your fault... right? That is an 80s reference from the show called FAME That Kirsty lives her life by...apart from the leotards. Yes this week we are blithering on about Blame. Come on kids, everyone is doing it....from politicians to Rebecca Elliott cutting up somebody’s clothing  because she has a personal problem with cardigans. Blame permeates o...

We’re  back baby!  This week we are inspired by the Netflix special ‘The Social Dilemma’.  We are slithering back into social media exploring our relationship with our own socials. We are so ridiculously excited to be back, so excited it  made Kirsty moo like an elephant. Not much has changed, still making at best mediocre points with half-baked ideas and thrilling breaking stories like should Reb...

Yes, the rumours are true, we can now be found LIVE on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwV8z4inHe1ep1_2HBNkt7g Come sit with us a while. xx

This week we amble through ambition, from those that come to fruition like Rebecca’s novel, to those that seem unlikely to, like Kirsty becoming David Bellamy.   Also features an alarming Vera Lynn impression, suggestions for loo roll alternatives including rabbits and kiwis and nostalgia for the days when the weather was the most interesting part of the news.

This week you get to unwrap and pretend to be grateful as we give you the gift of our words - though you may want to return a few. Gifts, they come in many forms. Kirsty’s lack of privacy in a unisex changing room was not her best gift. Rebecca's best gift would be to remember that she got one. And both agree that a 'No-Bra Day' is what every woman truly desires.

Ths week we holler about heroes. Why do we have them? What character makes you a hero? We discuss dangerously heroic acts like not flushing sanitary products, to the real heroes of the LGBTQ community. Does heroism have to involve dragging puppies from burning buildings or can it just be  being kind and daring to stand out? Also includes gusset talk, cheeky steam room noises and 'flesh pockets'. ....

Not sure if our podcast is for you? Here's a little taster for you - 15 minutes taken from previous episodes covering a random collection of chats from smear tests to CSI, death to a dodgy Morgan Freeman impression. Come join us. You’re very welcome. Rebecca and Kirsty x Real women. Real stuff. Real stoopid.

This week we meander and muse along memory lane, stopping to consider what memories shape us and which memories we would damn well rather forget. Kirsty shudders at the recollection of her swimming costume being flown as a flag on her estate and Rebecca at her skin-coloured knickers being revealed to an onlooking pub. As usual we are educatied by our Butters' contributions - Forget the hospital wh...

This week we chow down on the challenging subject that is cheese. We question whether a fondue should ever be shared - naked? And address the shocking revelations that Kirsty *doesn't* like pizza and Rebecca *does* like the dirty plastic-wrapped burger cheese.  The salty cheese with a squeeky intensity - Haloumi - gets a mention - like it does at every sodding bbq. Our Butters rock up with with a...

This week we're discussing the horrible habits that hold us back and hinder us...from hitting snooze to holding your phone in higher esteem than your family. Will Rebecca recover from essentially being a dog fluffer on one very bizarre day... will morning Rebecca ever be friends with evening Rebecca? Kirsty’s bad habits turn out to be many and varied...one is talking too much... I know we’re as sh...

Join us on our journey this week as we become trepidatious travellers. Trains, planes ... what could go wrong...? All kinds of crazy apparently.. from Kirsty’s light battering (which wasn't nearly as tasty as it sounds), to Rebecca's fear that the train toilet door will once again betray her. As always DLB asks the important questions such as does Finland exist? Is the problem with travel the othe...

This week we celebrate a new Don’t Laugh But decade by rambling our way through resolutions. Should we bother making them? Should Rebecca's be to dive into the dragons den with shoebuddies .com? Should Kirsty's be to stop obeying machines? Should Don’t Laugh But be your resolution? We'll leave all these life affirming questions with you. In the mean time let’s throw all the boring resolutions out...

We pull that cracker that is Christmas and enjoy the exploding drama,  hugs,  love,  nostalgia; the damn essence of life that it is. The Quality Street is judged, the condiments listed, the music incessantly sung, the importance of being free to do what you want whilst rubbing along with everyone, wearing paper hats and eating everything in sight is muled over along with the wine. Our butters join...

We fall into fate this week. Is it fate, destiny, serendipity or all three? Are you meant to be doing something in the world? Or is it all random and haphazard (a bit like every week here at DLB)? Was it fate that Kirsty’s angry corner involved her seeing red only to find out that it’s actually her own brain that needs to be in her angry corner? Is it Rebecca’s puppy’s fate to always love to eat a...

This week we take you for dinner, lunch and a whole brunch of chat as we discuss restaurants...what’s not to love... getting fed and cleaned up by other people.. it’s one of life utter pleasures but how close should we get to the gems of humans that are waiting staff? .. Kirsty believes very close indeed. Meanwhile Rebecca gets excited about mermaids... surely they should be on every restaurant me...

This week we grimace in the face of guilt. Who’s feeling guilty? NOT us... Okay, now we're feeling guilty for lying. Is guilt just a useless self-destructive angry inner voice that our other seldom-heard compassionate inner voice should politely tell to buggar off? As always our Butters save the day with their beautiful, hilarious and often disturbing Guilty Pleasures including running with jazz h...

This week we lay in the lap of laughter delving into how giggling, gaffawing and ‘PMSL’/‘ROFL’-ing (whichever makes you least nauseous) makes us more human and allows us to deal with the gravitas of horrendous situations with a bit of space and grace. Our Butters - our wind beneath - lift us up with some of the most hilarious heartwarming stories of inappropriate laughter.

We try not to be blinded by the bright lights of celebrity as we question whether fame really should be desired, and famous people valued above others. We also throw a little glitter over the mundane with the excitement that comes from a random viewing of the great and good as our Butters share stories of sharing a toilet seat with Thora Hird, accidentally hitting Mel Gibson when dismounting a cow...

This week we don’t sit by the rivers of Babylon but instead dive right in to the tempestuous sea of stress that is first world 21st century living. Is life really so overwhelming or do we bring it on ourselves? Is stress sometimes a good thing? Would it help if we collectively admitted that we’re all just shutting our eyes, putting our foot down and hoping for the best?   Whether it's the small th...

We try not to faint, fall down or poop ourselves as we stumble down the aisle of expectation towards our wonderful Don't Laugh Butters and their hilarious tales of eventful and often downright disasterous weddings. Also covers zip-up underwear, Rebecca's disturbingly alluring french accent and Kirsty's award-winning John Wayne impression . So put on your hat, fight your way to the canapés, and joi...

This week here comes the bride and all things wedding related...we get lost in the no mans land that is the the wedding ceremony - should oversized Jenga ever be involved? Wedding rules; are they necessary or should we all be radical and do exactly what we want? Why are men getting to do all the speeches? Should the bride be made up to the extent that no one, including the groom, recognises her?  ...
