Casey Belsham Spent 100K On Her Babies
Comedian Casey Balsham joins Parenting is a Joke to talk about balancing stand-up, parenting, and a pregnancy that’s been anything but easy. She shares her IVF experience, including the financial and emotional rollercoaster of spending nearly $100,000 to grow her family. Casey also reveals how she found out she was pregnant while performing her one-woman show about infertility at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She and Ophira discuss performing as moms, the struggle of finding childcare while chasing comedy gigs, and why she and her comic husband are bringing their toddler along for international shows. Casey opens up about the exhaustion of back-to-back pregnancies, the toll of constant nausea, and the surreal experience of getting an anatomy scan while barely able to function. Plus, she shares her take on why IVF is such a gamble, how switching doctors changed everything, and why her new podcast, It’s Broadway, Bitch, is the only thing worth losing sleep over these days. Don’t miss this episode full of sharp observations, real talk about IVF, and the unexpected perks of a hotel stay without a toddler. ✨ Subscribe, rate, and review!
