‘My Name is NOT Mom’ comedy show set for Oct. 16 at Horner Hall

- FROM STAFF REPORTS

Comedians, moms and internet stars Tiffany Jenkins, of “Juggling the Jenkins,” Meredith Masony, of “That’s Inappropri­ate,” and Dena Blizzard, of “One Funny Mother,” are bringing the live comedy event “My Name Is NOT Mom” to Horner Hall at the Hot Springs Convention Center at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 16.

“My Name Is NOT Mom” is “a hilarious journey through motherhood where fans can lighten up and let loose with the ladies who got them through the pandemic. Boasting a combined social following of over 12 million and after helping scores of moms get through quarantine, the comedic trio will share their take on mothering through the sleepless nights of the toddler years, the trials of middle school madness, and an occasional temptation to physically attack their high schoolers,” a news release said.

The event will feature stand-up, stories and videos from the online community and audience interactio­n, the release said.

The comedians were united by their common approach of being honest about motherhood. “No matter where you are on your motherhood journey, every mom has felt the stab of being called ‘Mom!’ 46 times a day. Discover how laughter has helped these moms raise (mostly, but not all the time) great kids, all while maintainin­g some sense of themselves,” the release said.

Jenkins, who has more than 7 million followers across all platforms, is a wife, mother, bestsellin­g author, content creator, and recovering addict. Although best known for her funny viral parenting videos, she is “incredibly passionate about bringing awareness to addiction and mental illness and believes the women share the same outlook when it comes to the necessity of incorporat­ing humor into parenting because ‘if we aren’t laughing, then we will cry. A lot,’” it said.

Masony is a wife to one, a mother to three, and is the “emotional support person to two dogs.” She has over 4 million followers across social media platforms “as a result of her unfiltered and somewhat chaotic parenting journey. Life isn’t supposed to be easy, but at least we can find the funny,” the release said.

“The three women have found friendship due to their similar take on life, comedy, and doing their best to stay out of jail … because kids, and well, husbands,” it said.

Blizzard is a comedian, mother of three, and creator of “One Funny Mother,” an off-Broadway show and media company. She is also a viral video star widely known for her “Back to School Rant” and Chardonnay Go, which is now a board game for “Wine Lovers, Moms, and Other Shameless People,” the release said.

Blizzard enjoys making videos about the plight of women and drinking wine on the internet. Her daily Facebook Live show, One Funny Morning, has over 25,000 daily viewers, it said.

Tickets for the event are available online at Ticketmast­er.com and include options of $64, $54, $39 and $29.
