Hilarious. The "family friendly " rating was only to give the one comic food for her routine. Wished I had not taken my husband and older children. All 3 talked about hating their kids. Should be advertised as a for mothers only.Written on May 10 2011

This event was great! I wasn't expecting much more than drinks at the pre-show but there were vendors there to shop around at. It was perfect for my mother and I. The comedians were fabulous as well! My mom was laughing the entire time saying "Oh that's so true"! It was worth every penny!Written on May 09 2011

Description
Comediennes Karen Morgan, Nancy Witter and Sherry Davey will have the audience convinced that mamas know best. Each Mama takes the stage to perform her own family oriented, clean, stand-up routine. For the grand finale the three funny ladies come together for an old-fashioned joke-off complete with snare drum and rim shots. Audiences rave that “the show was a great escape from the kids and the family,” and “we laughed so hard we got an instant face lift.”
After years as a successful trial attorney, Karen Morgan became a full-time mother before launching her career as a professional comedienne. Just months after beginning her comedy endeavor, Morgan made her national television debut as a finalist on Nick at Nite's Search for the Funniest Mom in America. She has since appeared regularly on television, radio and in comedy clubs and theaters nationwide. Morgan's radio spot, “The Mother Load,” can be heard each week on the Coast Morning Show. Her recurring television segment, “You Gotta Be Kidding Me!” can be seen on NBC affiliate WCSH6. Morgan's book, You Might Be a Mama!, is available in bookstores and online. Born in Athens, Georgia, Morgan's Southern accent is somewhat of an anomaly in Maine, where she now resides with her husband, three children, and a big dumb dog.
Nancy Witter is a three-time New York City MAC Award winner, and was chosen by Backstage Magazine as one of the "Top 10 Comedians to Look for in 2005." Her performances were described by Backstage as having "hilarious, razor-sharp delivery and facial double-takes like those of the great old-time comediennes." The New York Times said "She is the mother of two with razor sharp wit." Witter has appeared at, among other places, the legendary Friars Club in New York City, as well as the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and at the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City. She and her daughter Annie were recently featured in Lifetime Network's new show Mom's Cooking. Witter lives in Floral Park, New York with her brand-new husband whom she calls her "unpaid roadie." Witter was a single mother for 20 years and raised two children with the help of alcohol, comedy and social services.
Sherry Davey is the ultimate bi-coastal lady. She was born in the United States but raised in England. For years her family went back and forth between the two countries, but her parents always made sure she saw American dentists regularly. Davey’s comedic style was influenced mostly by her grandfather, Maxwell Lapham, who was a stand-up comic and nightclub performer in London during the 1940s and ’50s. Davey was seen most recently on Nick At Nite's Search For The Funniest Mom In America Seasons 1 and 2. She has regularly appeared on Comedy Central’s Tough Crowd With Colin Quinn and Premium Blend. Her most recent television appearances include Tru TV and NBC’s The Today Show. Davey was recently named one of Hollywood Reporter’s “Magnificent Seven” and voted one of the "Top 10 Comedians In NYC" by Improper Magazine. She is the official Funny Mom at NBC's iVillage website Momtourage.com, and also a featured columnist in the new nationally distributed magazine HyBrid Mom.
