Raue Center For The Arts wil present the Stand-Up Momedy Show at 8 p.m. Friday, May 8, featuring four fierce and funny women ready to deliver a night of comedy that’s as relatable as it is hilarious.

The evening features Samantha Chiappone, with headliners Chelsea Hood and Bridgett McGuire, and is hosted by the dynamic Miriam Naponelli.

Together, these comedic powerhouses bring honest, high-energy stand-up that taps into the wild world of parenting, the chaos of midlife, dating, marriage and those everyday annoyances we all love to gripe about, according to a news release from Raue Center.

Whether they are mothers or have mothers, these women have stories guaranteed to leave audiences in stitches—and maybe even inspire a phone call to mom.
