Desperate Scousewives
Get ready for a riotous, fast-paced comedy following the lives of three loud, no-nonsense Liverpool women and one nervous newcomer, all navigating life, love, loyalty, and lipstick on a tightly knit street.
Susan, Vanessa and Lily dominate the street with their big personalities, big voices, and even bigger secrets. But everything is turned upside down with the arrival of Trisha, a single mum from Manchester, thrown into the lion’s den of long-established friendships and fierce loyalty.
Starring TV comedy legend Crissy Rock (Benidorm, I’m A Celebrity) and the shows writer and director Lynne Fitzgerald. Desperate Scousewives is packed with unforgettable one-liners, high heels, heartbreak and hilarity. Not for the faint-hearted!
