'Moms Unhinged,' standup comedy show coming to Branson for special performance

This hilarious show, featuring nationally-acclaimed comics, Jene Suplee and Julie Drake with headliner Nancy Norton, has been selling out 15-plus shows per month in metro areas across the nation, and is coming to Branson for a special performance on Tuesday, January 28, 7-9 p.m., at Pierce Arrow Theater, 3069 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, Branson.

Created by standup comic Andrea Marie, Moms Unhinged is a night of standup comedy featuring mom comedians. Moms Unhinged explores and jokes about everything from motherhood, midlife crisis, marriage, divorce, online dating and other things that irritate women. Men are welcome to the show, too.

Marie created Moms Unhinged to fill a gaping hole in comedy. Nearly 90% of standup comics are men—leaving moms 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 that 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. 

Moms Unhinged features:

Nancy Norton, special headliner: Norton is a former nurse who is certified in therapeutic humor, bringing healing energy to audiences with uplifting material hilarious to folks from all walks of life.

Jene Suplee: Her unique childhood experiences with Midwestern homeschool offer a goonish and fun loving take on the challenges of life and marriage.

Julie Drake: Her wit, sarcasm and sharp one liners will have you laughing nonstop—she is no stranger to being called unhinged.

With clean(ish) comedy, enjoy a fun night out with your girlfriends, neighborhood group or your own mom. Praises for Moms Unhinged include: “This show was definitely a comedic masterpiece! What talent!” This show is “so fun - a perfect girls’ night out!” After the surgeon general’s recent parental mental health advisory, Moms Unhinged comes at a perfect time because as another show reviewer stated, “I haven’t laughed that much in a long time!”
