SYNOPSIS: Comedy ‘You and Me makes Three’ kicks off on a packed tube, where Alannah, a 33-year-old Irish woman, entertains a 3-month-old baby by pulling faces whilst its mother is engrossed in conversation. Meanwhile, right next to her, Alannah's 30-year-old Nigerian British wife, Amara tries fighting off a 6-year-old boy and his foam sword before his father quickly intervenes, apologizing. "Jesus babe! You left me to fend for myself! I almost lost an eye!”. Amidst the chaos and still mesmerized by the baby, Alannah declares, "I think I'm ready." A little confused, Amara asks, "For?" and Alannah softly responds, "I’m ready to start a family." 

​​

As their journey unfolds, they’re met with various obstacles; from finding out they’re unable to do IVF before trying all other avenues first, to being told that at-home-insemination isn’t a viable avenue unless they used a known donor. Stepping in, Alannah’s best friend David teases them, “Isn’t that normally how it goes? “Lesbian couple asks gay best friend to be their sperm donor?”. He offers and they accept.

After months of inseminating and their first pregnancy test coming back negative, they feel very much defeated. But is it all just an ‘ovary action’? (Get it? No? Anyways...) Not knowing what to do next, they turn to Amara’s mum for words of wisdom, but all they get is, “Keep trying, you’ll get there. It took me 3 years to get pregnant with your sister!”. Not exactly the confidence boost they were hoping for but it was enough to get them trying again.

Will Alannah and Amara eventually get their ‘happily-ever after’? Through laughter, tears, and unwavering love for each other, they navigate the unpredictable road to parenthood, discovering that amidst the challenges, the greatest miracles often lie in the unexpected.
