This week on The House of Hormones, we’re turning the dial all the way up with the brilliant, bold, and completely unforgettable Olga Thompson — better known to her thousands of fans as @big_fat_greekmother.

Olga is an award-winning writer, actor, comedienne, and storyteller who has carved out a unique space in British comedy with her larger-than-life Greek mother persona. What started as hilarious sketches on Instagram has grown into a cultural phenomenon — bringing joy, nostalgia, and plenty of belly laughs to audiences around the world. Beyond the laughs, Olga is using her voice and platform to tell real, raw, and relatable stories about identity, family, womanhood, and the messy middle of life. With her debut book Split Ends fresh off the press and a Live Nation comedy tour launching in 2025, she’s proving she’s just as powerful on the page and stage as she is on screen. In this conversation, we talk about comedy, creativity, motherhood, and how humor can be the ultimate healer. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the life lessons, or just a dose of unapologetically loud Greek mother energy — Olga’s got you covered. https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/olga-t… https://www.amazon.co.uk/Split-Ends-B…
