Dirty Work

About Dirty Work

Mary Floppins has cracked the sh*ts. 

Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys - and girls - a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. Hailed 'a rising star and quadruple threat' (Spy In The Stalls), Jessica Barton combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning and deep-cleaning to present a skanky and empowering comedy debut that has garnered critical acclaim and sold-out audiences across the UK and Australia.
