Diona Doherty on performing at eight months pregnant, IVF journey and new play

Diona Doherty is one of the biggest names in local comedy and she has not let pregnancy slow any of that down.

She said: "After we had Winter, I did find that first year of being a mum really difficult to be honest - I had always thought I wanted two and then that was such a shock to my system, nobody can prepare you for it. "All went really well and it was a first-time successful embryo transfer this time so I was pregnant straight away," she said.

Diona joked: "I love being pregnant doing stand-up to be honest because I think I can get away with so much because no one wants to hate the pregnant girl. She said: "For me, I wanted this play to be a real celebration of mothers because it is the first show I've written since becoming a mum and that's why the mum character is so prevalent.
