Funny As A Mother…

Meshelle frames domestic life as an endurance test where looking defeated is completely off the table. Rather than leaning into standard jokes about dirty laundry and soccer practices, she works from an assertive angle: keeping her edge, preserving her appearance, and surviving decades married to the exact same man. Recorded in October 2015 at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore and released as an audio album by Comedy Dynamics in early 2016, the set builds on material she developed across years of club dates and her solo theater production Diary of a M.I.L.F. The tracklist treats family life as an exhausting administrative trial, with routines like “Same Man… Everyday” and “Kids Are So Needy” giving way to pushback against domestic expectations in “I Refuse to Look Like a Wife” and “Don’t Touch the Hair.”
