About The Mom Coms
“Laugh So Hard That You’ll Cry”
The Mom Coms isn’t just a stand-up comedy troupe, it’s a communal experience. We offer many ways for our audience to engage and connect through humor. From our stand-up shows to our podcast, newsletter and more.
Our professional comedians and writers are products of parenthood. They either identify with or as mothers and even as dads with major respect for motherhood.
Come see what we’re all about!
