Autobiography: arts & entertainment; Memoirs; Feminism & feminist theory; Humour; Biography - Australian

A fiercely funny, feminist debut about mental health, motherhood and female rage, for fans of Caitlin Moran, Celeste Barber and Tanya Hennessy.

Bron Lewis is one of Australia’s most beloved comedians, regularly appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention? and Thank God You’re Here. No stranger to madness – from watching her mother smash a casserole dish through the family dining table while going through ‘the change’, to finding herself singing Tina Arena’s ‘Chains’ at the top of her lungs in public to drown out the sound of her babies’ cries – Bron has experienced her fair share of dark nights of the soul.

Bron was taught as a child, like most other young girls, that it’s expected for women to go mad. When we see a woman lose her footing and, for example, yell ‘MOTHERHOOD IS WAY HARDER THAN THEY BLOODY SAY IT IS’ at a pregnant stranger through four lanes of traffic, we usually look away, laugh into our collars, and thank Christ-on-a-bike that we aren’t as mad as she is.

If you’ve ever cringed as you watched your mum stumble dramatically through hot flushes, or soiled your pants in Kmart, or found yourself struggling through the seemingly unending chapter of becoming a new mum, then this is the book for you. Watch Bron spiral into rage and out of it so you can avoid the same fate.

I’m Not Mad (Anymore) sheds light on the mental struggles women go through silently, from post-natal depression and anxiety to menopause and all the muck in between.

You will laugh, cry and look at your mum in a whole new light.

Bron Lewis left her decade-long career as a high school teacher to become an award-winning stand-up comedian. She is now a regular panellist on Channel Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention?, a co-host of three podcasts, Good Sheilas, Work Hates and Your Two Drunk Aunties, and a writer on Channel Ten’s The Project. A mother to three young children, her show ‘Obviously’ not only sold out all around the country but poignantly tackled the subject area of women’s mental health in general, specifically postnatal anxiety and depression. Hilarious, ridiculous and honest, Bron Lewis is a star on the rise.
