Your Saturday brunch plans just got a whole lot better!

Bad Momz of Comedy is taking over Comedy Bar on August 8 for a ONE-TIME-ONLY brunch & comedy show — and oh honey, this is NOT your average morning!

Bad Momz of Comedy is the nationally touring stand-up showcase where the mom-filter gets tossed aside, and momma tells it like it REALLY is.

Every show features a different lineup of hilarious women saying everything you've thought (but never said out loud). Audiences consistently leave saying, "I may have peed a little!"

Bad Momz of Comedy is better than Netflix. Cheaper than therapy. 😂 As seen on NBC's The Kelly Clarkson Show, NewsNation, Woman's World Magazine, FOX Chicago, and The Chicago Tribune — and selling out venues nationwide.

Grab your mom friends — and all your friends who love moms. It's your night... and it's one you'll actually want to put a bra on for. 18+ only.

And yes, men are welcome — and yes, they will survive.

For years, moms have been the punchline. Ignored. Overlooked. Bad Momz of Comedy is changing that. Finally!
