For 9 years Eden Sher played Sue Heck on the very popular TV Show, The Middle. Hapless Sue saw the good in everyone, was always super enthusiastic and had more than her fair share of scrapes and japes.

There’s much of Sue in Eden and vice versa kinda like twins but different, which is ironic as her show catalogues her very own traumatic, funny and emotional journey into motherhood, where you guessed it, she had twins.

It’s a very energetic and at times moving story of how she gave birth in 2021 to twin girls at only 27 weeks cooked. The 3 guys who left at the beginning because they were at the wrong show, big mistake, you missed a cracker.

The show is still a little rough around the edges but it’s really good fun especially when Eden gets or doesn’t get recognised as her other half Sue.

It’s a very intimate venue, The Turret at Teviot, and it felt like we were part of the delivery room ensemble desperately trying to get these babies out safely. Being a parent for the first time is a massive learning curve, double it, and it becomes an even bigger challenge.

Eden, your show is just lovely and your energy and passion ensured the audience all had a good time. Can’t wait to hear the next chapter!
