Whether you’re expecting your first baby or you just had your first baby, we want to meet YOU! All those feelings you’re having are NORMAL and it’s not just you. Please don’t isolate yourself – that’s quicksand.

Mamistad groups are comprised of moms due within 3-4 months of each other so they are able to share the ups and downs of the first pregnancy and new motherhood journey. Relating is EVERYTHING!

MAMA TIP: If you’re still pregnant, please don’t put off finding your group until your baby arrives. You will be so glad you did! :)

Join us for a FREE introductory meeting to learn how easy it is to find your own New Mama Tribe! We have a Saturday meeting at noon on MOST Saturdays.

We’re expecting you. :)

Mamistad,

Live standup comedy starring John F. O’Donnell (Comedy Central)
Friday, October 20

Headliner: John F. O’Donnell

John was a correspondent on the radical comedy news TV show, “Redacted Tonight,” for 5 years. Recently, he released his debut one-hour standup special, “The Manic Depressive Chocolate Fountain Operator,” directed by Brendan Canty of Fugazi on the 800 Pound Gorilla Records label. According to the Comedy Central Insider, “John F. O’Donnell is one of the more explosive comics in New York City. On stage, he’s like a tightly capped liter of soda filled with lit fireworks.”

John has been featured in the New York Times and the LA Times, as well as being one of Comedy Central’s “Fresh Faces of Comedy.” He has performed at a number of comedy festivals around the country and beyond, including the San Francisco Sketch Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, New York Comedy Festival, Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival, and the Limestone Comedy Festival. He’s been a favorite guest on the popular podcasts “You Made It Weird w/ Pete Holmes,” “RISK! w/ Kevin Allison,” and “Skeptic Tank w/ Ari Shaffir.”

John is also the creator and host of the 15-city hit show, “50 First Jokes.” He recently performed a week of shows in Germany, where he headlined the prestigious English Theatre Berlin. John has also performed at the legendary Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts, and has been interviewed by Larry King. He was given a Congressional Press Credential during the Presidential election and was seen covering the debates on location for “Redacted Tonight,” which, if you know John, seems like a terrible breach of security. John currently has a podcast called, “Take Your Pills, Psychopath!” that uses comedy to destigmatize mental health issues.

Ashley has performed with household names such as Mike Epps, Micheal Che, Donnell Rawlings, and Tiffany Haddish.
