About Proud Mums

Nathan's family disapprove of his stand-up career, until a TV appearance at last sparks a rethink. With Adjoa Andoh. From March 2012.

Nathan's TV appearance make his family rethink.

Finally, they're proud of him and are full of encouragement.

This does wonders for Nathan and his ego...

This is the story of young, up-and-coming comedian Nathan Caton, who becomes the first in his family to graduate from University - only to opt for a career in comedy - much to his family's annoyance who want him to get a 'proper job' using his architecture degree.

Each episode shows the criticism, interference and rollercoaster ride that Nathan endures from his family as he pursues his career against their wishes.

A mix of Nathan's stand-up intercut with scenes from his family life.
