What started as a sold-out, nationally touring standup show is now a podcast, because let’s face it…we’ve got way too much to say. Each week, Moms Unhinged dives into the perils (and punchlines) of motherhood, marriage, dating, divorce, midlife crises, and everything else that makes us lose our cool. With a rotating lineup of 30 hilarious mom comedians (and the occasional token dad), you’ll hear the raw, real, and ridiculous stories of women balancing kids, comedy, and careers — all while embracing their most unhinged moments. It’s comedy. It’s catharsis. It’s the laugh you desperately need. Follow us on Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/YouTube @MomsUnhingedComedy for show dates and more laughs.https://momsunhinged.com/falseepisodicnopodcastWhy The Tooth Fairy Was Shopping At MidnightWhy The Tooth Fairy Was Shopping At MidnightRaising three kids while doing standup comedy means sometimes the Tooth Fairy is doing her best.

Andrea and Zoe also get into late-night comedy shows, dinosaur books at 1am, and the chaos of raising kids while trying to build a career.

Then a life-changing diagnosis forced her to ask a terrifying question:

What if “later” never comes?

So in her 50s, Patricia did something completely unexpected — she walked into an open mic and became a stand-up comedian.

In this episode, Patricia shares how motherhood, marriage, empty nesting, and a health scare pushed her to finally stop putting herself last. She talks about building a comedy career after retirement, finding her voice later in life, and discovering that women over 50 are far from invisible.

She also tells the hilarious story of realizing her daughter may have been paying too much attention to her parents’ love story… right around the time she announced she was getting married at 19.

This conversation is funny, honest, unexpectedly inspiring, and a reminder that your life does not stop once the kids grow up. Sometimes that’s exactly when it begins.

In this episode, Andrea sits down with fellow Moms Unhinged comedians Donna Lee and Stephanie McHugh for a Mother’s Day conversation that quickly turns into stories about chaotic family traditions, emotional homemade gifts, and the complicated politics of adult kids splitting holidays between moms.

From sentimental videos that still make Andrea cry to a family Christmas tradition involving duct-taped gift cards, the conversation starts out sweet and slowly goes off the rails in the way only family stories can.

In this episode, Anne talks about being the only woman over 40 at open mics, how a random Zoom mic pulled her back in, and why one person saying “you’re really funny” was enough to keep her going.

We also get into raising a kid in New York City (where “go play outside” is not a real option), what happens when your kid doesn’t fit neatly into sports or theater, and the very weird shift from a loud house… to a quiet one.

Which is both a little sad and kind of amazing.

This week, Andrea is joined by comedians Stacy Pederson and Amanda Marks to talk about the reality of kids’ sports. They get into cost, the chaos, and the part where you accidentally join a whole new social scene you didn’t audition for.

There’s also trying every sport before landing on one and the moment you realize this isn’t just an activity… it’s a lifestyle.

This week, I’m joined by Danielle Frank, author of A Wine Lover’s Guide to Parenting (yes, you need this), and we get into why raising kids and drinking wine have more in common than you’d expect.

From being the “fun aunt” who gets to send kids home, to navigating life as a bonus mom, Danielle shares stories that are equal parts hilarious and way too real.

We talk about manners, boundaries, co-parenting dynamics, and the moments that make you question everything… plus a few unhinged childhood stories (including one that involves the cops).

In this episode of Moms Unhinged, Andrea sits down with Chicago comedian Avril Granato, who found her voice somewhere between midlife, motherhood, and a hormone patch she definitely didn’t read the fine print on.

Avril opens up about how her daughter pushed her into comedy and what it’s like starting stand-up in your forties. She also talks about marriage in midlife, why her husband suddenly started noticing her moods, and the moment she realized maybe, just maybe, the patch was working.

It’s real, a little ridiculous, and totally unfiltered—just like the stage.

  • How her daughter convinced her to try comedy
  • Acting classes on Zoom and surviving long COVID
  • The menopause symptoms no one warns you about
  • The hilarious vegan-meets-horse-pee revelation
  • Why her husband keeps asking if she’s put on a “fresh patch”
  • Finding the funny in the mess (and the hot flashes)

👉 How nursing prepared Nancy for the comedy stage

👉 Why laughter beats therapy (and it’s cheaper)

👉 What happens when moms hit midlife with a mic in hand
