Julie Jay

Comedian

Young boy walking on open beach
Julie Jay: My only quibble with Ted’s hair is that he is not a redhead
This week Ted is revelling in his crowning glory and rubbing salt into poor Daddy's increasingly receding hairline

Tue, 27 Jun, 2023

Brown teddy bear laying in bed, furry doll. Sweet sleep
Julie Jay: Getting my toddler to bed is basically Squid Game
"At the risk of bottle-shaming my son, I’m pretty sure this is our fifth bottle of the night, which given the fact we haven’t even hit the nine o’clock news is too much bottle."

Tue, 20 Jun, 2023

Blank coffee capsule hard box packaging for mock up and branding.
Julie Jay: Ted knocks back the hotel milk pots like a GAA player does shots after a win
This week I attempt to network at a comedy festival while simultaneously wrestling coffee capsules from Ted and running in flip flops

Tue, 13 Jun, 2023

POV of a hand holding a melting ice cream overlooking Towan Beach, Newquay, Cornwall on a bright Sunny Autumn day.
Julie Jay: Much like escalators, I find this hot summer weather utterly terrifying
I’m sure I found the heat just as tricky when pregnant with Ted in the summer of 2020, but this time it feels a lot more oppressive

Tue, 06 Jun, 2023

Cleaning products.
Julie Jay: The old mĂșinteoir trick I use on Fred in emergency situations that works every time
Because the house-move has dragged on a bit, this was the week I rolled up my sleeves, channelled my latent mĂșinteoir and told Fred we are getting the last bits done if it kills us

Sat, 03 Jun, 2023

Beautiful landscape with baby
Julie Jay: Much like fur gilets, nap times are a relic of the past
Both my husband and toddler are high-energy extroverts, while my idea of a dream holiday is sitting alone in a darkened room staring into space

Sat, 03 Jun, 2023

Beach with Lounge Chairs and Umbrella
Julie Jay: We're in Spain - and marvelling at how cheap the crisps are
Much like I wore Fred down initially and tricked him into our relationship, so too has Fred worn me down and convinced me to book a holiday in the sun

Tue, 23 May, 2023

A soft toy sits on a potty.
Julie Jay: My sitting room is now home to more ‘stools’ than a traditional high bar
We are currently in the throes of potty training, and so far, much like my comedy reviews, results have been mixed

Tue, 16 May, 2023

Rear view of little boy on a slide at the playground.
Julie Jay: The playground is like jail - none of us knows when we’re getting out
"I was sitting on my favourite horse-shaped seesaw yesterday when a child — who couldn’t have been more than five — marched over to me and informed me that the playground equipment was “just for kids”."

Tue, 09 May, 2023

Julie Jay: Pregnancy update — I am so highly strung I belong in the RTÉ orchestra
Julie Jay: Pregnancy update — I am so highly strung I belong in the RTÉ orchestra
Waiting for these scans is like holding your breath, for weeks on end, and the fear can be all-consuming
