Moms Unhinged show is coming to Juneau's Centennial Hall Convention Center on June 14th and it’s creator appears today on Capital Chat!
Created by standup comic Andrea Marie, Moms Unhinged is a night of standup comedy featuring mom comedians (and the occasional dad), joking about everything from potty training to sex talks. This hilarious show, featuring many nationally-acclaimed comics, has been selling out more than 15 shows per month across the Denver metro area and in other metro areas including Chicago, Seattle, and Rapid City, to name a few.
Marie created the show to fill a gaping hole in the comedy scene. Nearly 90% of standup comics are men—leaving moms with few opportunities to see their experiences reflected on stage. "This show is about connecting audiences with comics who get them and make them feel seen," says Marie.
And moms certainly need to feel seen. Data shows up to 20% of women experience postpartum depression. Meanwhile, a recent poll shows more working moms are diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression (42%) than the general population (28%) and even working dads (35%), with working moms more likely to report a decline in their mental health over the past year.
