What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this reality show features some stand up comedy sets featuring humor that isn’t really intended for young viewers. Some of the language is a little strong (“damn,” “hell”), and drinking is frequently visible in the background. The show sends very positive messages about the importance of family.
What's the story?
A STAND UP MOTHER is a reality series that follows Last Comic Standing finalist Tammy Pescatelli as she balances her role as wife, mother, and stand up comedian. After relocating with husband Luca from Hollywood to Pennsylvania to raise their son, she finds herself trying to navigate small town life while trying to keep her career going. Meanwhile, the chaos created by her large Italian family gives her lots of humorous material. Excerpts from her comedy act are also featured throughout each episode.
Is it any good?
The show offers an entertaining chance to see what the everyday life of a stand up comedian is like. It also shows some of the challenges stand up comics face when trying to build their careers while raising a family.
There’s lots of craziness, but in between it all are strong messages about the importance of family. It also serves as a reminder that humor can help cope with any situation.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about stand up comedians. What are some of the challenges stand up comedians face when trying to make a living doing what they do? Do you think it is harder for women to be successful stand up comics then men? Why or why not?
Do you think Tammy balances her career and family sucessfully? Does it look hard or easy? What kinds of things have been edited out of the show, do you think?

Good for everyone.
A Stand Up Mother is something "normal" people can really relate to. This attributed to the great success of the TV show "Roseann". When Roseann hit the airwaves, people loved it because they could relate to her, her situation, and her family. Tammy brings that same chemistry to the real people who view TV, those in Middle America, with familes and family values. Keep your "Lady Gagme" and give us someone really worth watching, like Tammy.

Show is fun - good family values - Tammy is very witty and funny- shows real emotions and also respect for one another. Delightful change from the usual sit-com; where moral values seem to be out the window in most cases. Would like to see more of this show.

Great show for adults who love a good laugh!
Love it! It is a realistic relay of what a working mother has to do to juggle her self, career, and family and does not shy away from the realistic demands of life that leaves obstacles in the way. And do it with laughter. It is a great idea of a show and I won't miss it!
