#IMOMSOHARD began as a popular web-series by real-life best friends, comedians, and moms Kristin and Jen, sparking an online community of 2 million followers. The videos have received over 300 million views and counting. The phenomenon created by Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley, has since been nabbed for development by Warner Brothers TV, reality TV and film. The comedians have sold-out three national tours, written a New York Times Best Selling autobiographical book and a children’s book with Harper Collins, host a top comedy podcast, landed branded deals with Fortune 100 companies, and taped a standup comedy special for Amazon Prime Video, launching the network’s first standup comedy platform. Raised in Nebraska, Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley are now based in Los Angeles (where they met) and can often be found selling pizza slices for the PTA or working as parking enforcement at school drop off.
