THE SHOW
In August 2025 Tatty posted a video of her 73 year old mum digging a trench on social media. 25 million views later and DIY Liz is a viral sensation. This year Tatty turns 37, the same age "Trench Lady" was when she had her. In this brand new work in progress Tatty reviews her mum's life choices (including moving to France, digging a Trench, repairing her own sceptic tank) and contrasts it against her own (childfree, unmarried, doesn't own a sceptic tank) to try and answer the age old question: am I becoming my mother?
Tatty toured Europe and the UK with her debut hour "Fugue", she sold over 15 000 tickets. She has amassed over 700k followers across socials and has appeared on Comedy Central, Radio 4, ITV and if you look carefully, Emily in Paris.
