Most people don’t start stand-up in their 50s, but Lindsay Porter has never taken the usual route.

She’s a mom, a teacher, a longtime kidney-transplant survivor, and now a comic who finally has time to chase the thing she always wanted to do.

In this episode, Lindsay and Andrea talk about empty-nest feelings, late-bloomer career leaps, and the accidental ways we traumatize our pets. Plus, why moms are always the designated “adult in the room,” even when they don’t feel like it.

Some moms grow up in the suburbs. Jené Suplee grew up in a cult and somehow turned it into comedy gold.

This week, she joins Andrea to talk about the very unusual childhood she didn’t sign up for and the moment she realized things were not exactly “normal.” Plus, she shares how she went from commune life to corporate life to stand-up… all while raising a toddler who already has main-character energy.

It’s unhinged in the best way, and you’ll never guess which part of her story comes first.

Most people don’t leave law to chase laughter, but Catherine Shea isn’t most people.

She didn’t plan to become a comedian—she just needed a hobby. But after one class and a handful of jokes about motherhood, she found herself hooked.

This week, Andrea talks with the Colorado-based comic and former attorney about leaving law, building confidence on stage, and how laughter helped her rewrite what midlife could look like.

Magen King didn’t plan to become a comedian—she just wanted to survive auditions, kids, and the Texas heat.

Then Kevin Hart told her she should be doing stand-up. Ten years later, she’s a performer, mom of three, and the woman running the show at Dallas Comedy Club.

This week on Moms Unhinged, Andrea and Magen talk about balancing punchlines with parenting, why social media matters more than talent sometimes, and how sharing a roof with your ex-husband makes for truly original material.

Comedian Amanda Marks has been holding a mic since her brother’s bar mitzvah and she hasn’t stopped talking since.

Andrea sits down with the Atlanta comic and mom of three to talk about growing up Jewish in Alabama, raising twins who never stop performing, and how a TV career at Cartoon Network turned into a life on stage.

They cover everything from parenting fails to punchlines, including the toddler pee story that earned Amanda her “most unhinged” moment yet.

It’s just the right amount of unfiltered—exactly how we like it.

Cara Rosellini thought parenting teens would be different—maybe even a little easier. What she didn’t expect was how much more emotional it would be.

In this episode, Andrea Marie sits down with the Seattle-based comedian to talk about raising three teenagers with big feelings, the mental gymnastics of modern parenting, and how growing up Gen X shaped the way she parents now.

It’s a real look at midlife, motherhood, and trying to keep your sense of humor while everyone in the house feels everything, all at once.

Motherhood might end, but the chaos sure doesn’t.

In this heartfelt episode of Moms Unhinged, Andrea Marie chats with Seattle-based comedian Jody Carroll, who has worn more hats than most: mom, foster mom, and now proud grandma (times two).

Jody shares what it’s really like to fall head-over-heels for grandbabies, foster kids, and stand-up comedy—all while managing a house full of dogs and emotions. From late-night feedings to late-night shows, she proves that you can reinvent yourself at any age (and laugh about it, too).

Menopause, motherhood, and horse pee…oh my!

In this episode of Moms Unhinged, Andrea sits down with Chicago comedian Avril Granato, who found her voice somewhere between midlife, motherhood, and a hormone patch she definitely didn’t read the fine print on.

Avril opens up about how her daughter pushed her into comedy and what it’s like starting stand-up in your forties. She also talks about marriage in midlife, why her husband suddenly started noticing her moods, and the moment she realized maybe, just maybe, the patch was working.

It’s real, a little ridiculous, and totally unfiltered—just like the stage.

In this episode:

• Growing up in Chicago and raising creative kids
• How her daughter convinced her to try comedy
• Acting classes on Zoom and surviving long COVID
• The menopause symptoms no one warns you about
• The hilarious vegan-meets-horse-pee revelation
• Why her husband keeps asking if she’s put on a “fresh patch”
• Finding the funny in the mess (and the hot flashes)
