She draws on this in her comedy with millions of views on instagram of her hilarious observations about mothers and their relationships with their children.

Jen is a regular on UK TV having performed on Live at the Apollo, Frankie Boyle's New World Order, Mock the Week, QI, Hypothetical and Sara Pascoe's comedy Lectures on Dave. Her sell out show ‘Meaningless' can be streamed on Amazon Prime.

In this episode, I talk to the fantastic comedian JEN BRISTER about her comedy career. Brister is an exceptionally talented and extremely funny comedian who often talks on stage about her Spanish mum, the relationship with her partner and her twin boys.  She is superb at displaying levels of frustration or ranting for comic effect and is a wonderfully compelling performer. I have watched her comic routines and compering many times at Always Be Comedy and other venues since 2017 as well as her solo Edinburgh shows Meaningless in 2018 and Under Privilege in 2019.  She is also co-host of a successful podcast with comedian Maureen Younger and author of the book The Other Mother, published in 2019.

I first met Susan at her flat in Walthamstow around 10 years ago, when I was asked to help her with her insurance claim for dry rot. I remember at the time Susan telling me she was a comedian—as I’d never met one in the flesh before, so it really stuck with me. Perhaps not the most auspicious start. Since then I’ve tried to keep up with Susan’s thriving career as a much in demand stand up comic. Not only does Susan gig all over the UK, but she also runs and is resident MC at Red Imp in Walthamstow, where she has brought many famous faces to E17, including Alan Carr, Stephen K Amos, Russell Kane, Phil Jupitus, Arthur Smith and many more. I was just leaving to meet Susan for this recording when she asked if her good friend and multi lingual stand up comedian, Maureen Younger, could join us. Well, I thought, why not indeed. Two for the price of one. I love this meandering, somewhat random off the wall chat and I hope it brightens your day as much as it did mine. Susan’s been described as a cross between Frankie Boyle and Julie Walters, so stand by your beds for a bit of a raucous ride. “Obviously the more experienced you are, how good you are, you can work yourself out of situations—but they’ll be one gig at some point in the future where they will hate you—where you will die on your ass, and you just don’t know when that’s going to be.” Dying on stage, every comic has it happen. It always happens right after you feel like you’ve been nailing your material. Susan and Maureen have both experienced this phenomenon—but they’re quick to note that it happens to every comic at some point. In fact, they feel a little better when they see someone big on stage fail to really get the crowd on their side. It goes to show that the struggle to perform live on stage is real, and there are a host of factors that go into a successful bout of stand up. [16:26] Believe it or not – the physicality of a room affects a comic’s material and delivery. The difference in how a comedian performs while in a massive theatre vs an up-close café can make or break their set. Susan and Maureen note that large venues are often more difficult, because the gap between the comedian and audience is physically wider—eating up the comic’s energy if they are depending on their actions to help deliver their jokes. Susan and Maureen share some horror story events, including a charity event with a ten minute speech beforehand about the organizers friend—while people were playing beer ping pong in the back. “As a male comic—you’re given more rope to hang yourself.” [20:07] Comics only have so much time to win a crowd over. Susan and Maureen agree that for a man this is usually around five minutes, but they note it is usually way shorter for female comics—especially if the crowd has never heard of them before. Men just seem to get more benefit of the doubt—however Maureen and Susan agree that there are many factors that go into a booking an act, and many bookings (included ones they run) are very pro female. Red Imp Comedy Club has a whole first season of female headlining comics, showing that women aren’t going anywhere in today’s comedy scene. “I’ve never met a comic, irrelevant of how well their career is going, who is happy with their career. They always want more.”   Links Redimpcomedy.co.uk (http://www.redimpcomedy.com/) MaureenYounger.com (https://www.maureenyounger.com/) Support this podcast

Brace yourself Maureen, I'm coming in. Or at least that's what it becomes clear comedian Maureen Younger would love for Outlander's Jamie Fraser to whisper, as team Noonan, Dunleavy and Offord discover while MY and fellow comic Jen Brister (that's right, she of the literally shitty caravan experience) tell them all about what inspires their podcast, Droughtlander. Film buff Yosra Osman discusses the cinematic highs of 2017 with Hannah and Jen, and Fiona Longmuir's talks 20 years of Harry Potter and the enduring power of magic. Also, Sarah's using athlete's foot cream in places it's not meant for, and Dunleavy Does Peter Pan. It's a pure belter. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Episode 4 of the not so official Outlander Podcast from Maureen Younger and Jen Brister. Join them hiding behind a wall in the BFI trying to discuss various sex scenes whilst being interrupted by the noise of traffic, random passers by and a man with emphysema. No one could accuse these two of being a professional outfit, but if you like the show you might like this and if you don't like the show you might like this. What we're saying is, you might like this. Oh never mind.

Chris and Emma catch up with the Rubbish Lesbian, and they play games with Maureen Younger, Plus we chat to Singer Carolynne Poole and they discuss the recent referendum in Ireland. Plus much more.

Chris and Emma chat to 90s singer Gala (Freed from Desire) and co-president of the Russian LGBT Sports Federation Konstantine Lablotckii - who both share their experiences of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, winner of the BBC new comedy award Lucy Beaumont and comedian Maureen Younger. Plus much more.

Stand up comedians Maureen Younger and Jen Brister have decided to make a podcast. Why? Because no one asked them to. In their very first episode they ask important questions like? Why the hell are we doing a podcast anyway? Can you record your voice without a mic? And does anyone read German literature in German if they’re not German? They do if they’re Maureen. With their special guest, writer VG Lee, Maureen and Jen tackle the important issues of the day. Let's just say that things are said that can never be unsaid. Mainly because I recorded it and stuck it on here.
