It is both local and ubiquitous, silly and satirical, joyful and unafraid. Mom’s Girls Gone Wild is produced, written, built, and performed entirely by female and non-binary artists that aim to show critics that women belong on the comedic stage. With songs, sketches, and movement, Mom’s Girls (Elizabeth Hicks, Stef Curran, Allison Kelly, and Andie Bulman) will take you on a fast-paced, high-energy ride- think the Scrambler at Thomas Amusements, but instead of your stomach hurting from those awful jolting motions, it’ll hurt from all the giggling. All hands, arms, and legs must be inside the ride at all times. Strap in and get ready to laugh.

Mark's back! He tells us what he's been up to and shares a few of his family's Christmas traditions.  We are joined by Kyle McDavid, Sharon King-Campbell, Melanie O'Brien, Marquita Walsh, and Phil Goodridge for some festive tunes! Warning Mark says the word "panties" like 10 times in the episode.
