#IMOMSOHARD began as a popular web series by real-life best friends, comedians, and moms Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley. With a camera, two husbands, a babysitter, and bottomless mimosas, Kristin and Jen decided to speak openly about their fears and failures and to prove that the only way to survive motherhood is through laughter and friendship. Some 1.4 million Facebook fans and more than 300 million views of their web series later, Jen and Kristin’s blend of honesty and humor offer confirmation that moms and women everywhere need to laugh and be heard.
From Lebanon to NYC, comedian Nataly Aukar “takes audiences by surprise.” Her stand-up is “compelling,” “sardonic,” “deadpan,” “deft” and “relatable,” according to Vulture’s 2025 ranking of hot new comics to watch. Aukar riffs about her family, her fears and her flaws on stages around the world, including the Netflix Is a Joke Festival and Don’t Tell Comedy. She’s opened for Nimesh Patel, Ramy Youssef, Hasan Minhaj, Gad El Maleh and Mo Amer. She co-hosts the podcast Please Continue with Monica Hanna.
