Episode notes
Commuting Between Barcelona And London For Family And Comedy
- Michelle Wolf moved between Barcelona and London after meeting her partner and now tours the UK while keeping a home base in both cities.
- She co-owns a tiny English-language comedy club in Barcelona and performs there weekly to workshop material before touring the UK.
Tour Routing Designed Around Breastfeeding Logistics
- Touring choices are driven by childcare logistics: Michelle keeps tour dates within a two- to three-hour radius so a nanny can travel with her and the baby can be fed as needed.
- That radius-tour approach lets one nanny travel with the infant while the toddler and the other nanny stay home.
Co-Sleeping And The Belly Button Fidget
- Michelle and her two children all co-sleep in a large bed, with the toddler often wrapped around her and nursing the baby nearby.
- The toddler developed a persistent habit of fiddling with Michelle's belly button as a comfort/fidget, which she describes as both creepy and hard to stop.
