This show has passed

Some days as a mom are harder than others. The crying, the snot, the constant running around...and then there are the kids. And there’s no one making moms feel as uncomfortably normal as KristinHensley and Jen Smedley, the hilarious oh-so-real women behind #IMomSoHard. With over 510,000 Facebook fans and more than 45 million views of their web series in the last 8months, Jen and Kristin’s blend of honesty and humor offer the kinds of levity most of us only get fromour therapist, proving that if we weren’t all laughing, we’d be crying, right? Right!?Sure to deliver the kind of straight talk you can only get from discussing body hair in the kids’ playroomwhile sipping mimosas, Kristin and Jen prove you can’t make this shi*t up. This show is what all women want right now, not just moms! It’s like an evening with two of your besties. But funnier. And probably with more drinking. Definitely more drinking.

Background

IMomSoHard is a popular web series on Facebook where two best friends, who happen to be moms, talk the good, the bad, and the funny about motherhood. Now, these two are ready to leave the playroom and take the stage for IMomSoHard LIVE. The live performance will reflect the casual conversations about motherhood that have made their series so popular. IMomSoHard is a comedy duo made up of Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley. Between the two of them, they have a lifetime ofteaching, performing, and writing comedy. They also spend holidays, birthdays, and football Saturdays together.

Both have two small children and two regular-sized husbands. So logically,their web series could only take place in a playroom with red wine. Or mimosas. Or chardonnay. Hensley and Smedley embrace the short-hand moms share withone another. They talk openly about Spanx, body hair, lack of bladder control, and delight in the process. They poke fun at themselves and sometimes at each other, but this combo believesin positivity, support, and laughter. And wine. Lots of wine. Moms everywhere are toasting and laughing along with these ladies. IMomSoHard has over 510,000 followers and more than 45 million video views in just the last 8 months!
