About The Mom Coms
“Motherhood’s Highest Form of Flattery”
Not only is The Mom Coms the premier NY/NJ standup mom comedy show, but it’s also a woman-owned business offering communal experiences that connect moms and parents through humor.
Are you experiencing maternity, matrescence, menopause, or mommyhood, or are you the matriarch? No matter your stage of life, our professional mom comedians have got you covered.
We sell out large theaters, but we also bring humor to private groups and venues. Our ensemble members identify as or with moms and dads with major respect for motherhood.
Connect and learn why The Mom Coms live stand-up shows, Stand-up and Stories Podcast, newsletter, and Mom Com books are motherhood’s highest form of flattery. Laugh until you cry with The Mom Coms!
