Mom comedian who went viral on TikTok, Instagram to play Raleigh show
Stand-up comedian and author Jen Fulwiler had six children within an eight year span.
Posted — Updated"Those were some hard times," Fulwiler said. "For a decade of my life, I had three kids in diapers at once."
The oldest is now 16 years old and the youngest is 8.
"I'm not good at keeping my house clean and I'm very sensitive to loud noises, so I don't have the type of temperament that you would think would be set up for that, which is why I ended up in comedy," Fulwiler said. "Let me just tell you, the jokes write themselves."
"A lot of my jokes are about just living in the suburbs, trying to make it all work when it does not work," she said.
For the Austin, Texas, native, stand-up is a chance to commiserate with fellow moms and tap into her natural storyteller roots.
"After these shows so many people come up to me and they say, 'Jen, you know, I feel so much less alone. I thought I was the only one who had that problem, who had that insecurity. And now I know that you've been through that too, and I just feel so much less alone,'" Fulwiler said.
