I know many of you are familiar with Alyce Chan’s hysterical work on social media as @momcomnyc, because she’s a fixture on Scary Mommy’s very own Instagram. She’s hilarious on being a mom, being in a relationship, and just being a person, too. And I recently got a chance to chat with her on Zoom about her stand-up career and how her mom humor has changed the vibe with her audience, what her kids make of her comedy, and why the elementary years are the parenting sweet spot. Also, why hecklers can be fun! (Sometimes, anyway.) Give it a read.
