Mom Said Duck is where exhausted moms become energized audiences, laughing at the chaos of motherhood through stand-up comedy, poetry, and brutally honest storytelling.
Hey, I’m Jill! I didn’t set out to become a comedian—I was pushed into it by a corporate layoff and the discovery of a rhyming book I wrote as a kid. What started as a creative outlet during one of the hardest seasons of my life became something I never expected: a voice for moms who are tired of being the entertainment and are ready to be entertained. My first poem, Ten Little Fingers, Ten Little Toes, opened the floodgates, and I haven’t stopped writing, performing, or making moms laugh since.
Today, Mom Said Duck is more than a brand—it’s a tribe. I’m proud to say I’ve sold out every live show I’ve performed, combining stand-up comedy, spoken-word poetry, and the kind of raw, relatable humour that makes moms feel seen, heard, and a little less alone in the chaos of motherhood. My mission is simple: give moms a night to laugh until they pee a little and connect over shared truths. It’s my hope that Mom Said Duck brings moms (and dads) together through the humility of laughter, reminding us that this wild thing called parenting can be as funny as it is trying. The Mom Said Duck journey is proof that sometimes the worst moments lead to the best punchlines.
I love this one so much!

This show is for the moms who do it all and still feel like they’re failing. It’s for the ones who’ve mastered the art of hiding in the pantry, who know that 10pm is the new midnight, and who are desperate for a night where they’re not in charge of anyone’s snacks, meltdowns, or bedtime routine. But it’s not just for moms—dads, grandmas, and anyone who loves a mom (or has ever been raised by one) will find themselves laughing just as hard. If you’ve ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’re the only one faking it, this show is your permission slip to let it all out and laugh until you cry.
You've been the punchline, the snack distributor, and the chaos coordinator for long enough. This is your night to be the audience while someone else brings the comedy. Expect belly laughs, relatable humor, and the kind of jokes that make you snort-laugh in the best way.
Every poem, every story, every punchline is rooted in the messy, beautiful, exhausting reality of motherhood. You'll leave knowing you're not the only one hiding in the bathroom for a second alone or treating 8pm like it's last call at the bar. This is your tribe, and they get it.
No late nights, no babysitter guilt, no scrambling to stay awake past your bedtime. Jill knows moms have early mornings, so the show wraps up in time for you to get home, unwind, and still get a full night's sleep. You'll actually enjoy your night out instead of dreading the morning after.
For once, you're not planning it, hosting it, or cleaning up after it. Grab a drink from the cash bar, sit back, and let someone else do the entertaining. This is your permission slip to relax, connect, and remember what it feels like to just be you for a couple of hours.

🌙 THIS FRIDAY! 🌙
You just never know what might happen at a Mom Said Duck show 🤪
But seriously, Candice Parent IS a badass bossbabe and Windsor IS lucky to have her!
Don’t forget to bring cash for the Period Promise (every pack of period products OR every $5 donation) is a chance to WIN a FREE house cleaning by Molly Maid Windsor 🧹💵 💕 valued at $230!
And ALL proceeds go to the United Way Period Promise initiative.
(FYI: Merch is also cash only as well.)
There’s something really powerful about women showing up for other women. 💗
That’s why I’m so proud that Mom Said Duck is partnering with Molly Maid Windsor to support The Period Promise in partnership with the United Way.
At the show on Friday, Molly Maid Windsor will be collecting period products and monetary donations in the theatre corridor beside my merch table.
For EVERY pack of period products donated — or EVERY $5 contributed — you’ll receive a pink ticket for a chance to win a professional house cleaning generously donated by Molly Maid Windsor. 🧼✨
100% of donations will go directly to the United Way’s Period Promise initiative, helping provide essential menstrual products to people in our community who need them.
Thank you to Candice and Molly Maid Windsor for continuing to support moms, women, and this beautiful community we’re building together.
See you at the Capitol Theatre this Friday, friends. Let’s laugh, connect, and do some good while we’re at it. 💛

🦆 NEW. MERCH. DROP. 🦆
Because motherhood is basically:
✨ running on fumes
✨ being a little person’s snack bitch
✨ carrying everyone’s stuff
✨ and somehow still making it look cute
10 days until Mom Said Duck takes over the Capitol Theatre and I figured it was time to refresh the merch for the moms who get it!
Which one’s your fave? (Mine is the pistachio snack bitch hoodie!)

Submit your details below and let’s chat about bringing Mom Said Duck to your venue. Let’s create a night your audience will be talking about long after the lights go down.
Mom Said Duck is my live comedy show that blends stand-up, poetry, and brutally honest storytelling about motherhood. It’s a night where moms (and anyone who loves them) can laugh until their faces hurt, feel seen, and actually enjoy themselves without being in charge of snacks, bedtime, or anyone’s emotional regulation. Think of it as therapy, but funnier and with a cash bar.
Moms, first and foremost—especially the tired, overwhelmed, rebellious ones who are juggling it all and need a night to laugh about it all. But dads, grandmas, and anyone who’s ever been raised by a mom or loves one will find plenty to laugh about, too. If you’ve survived the chaos of family life, you’re my people!
Not quite. My humor is raw, honest, and occasionally involves some colourful language (you know, the kind autocorrect changes to “duck”). It’s best suited for adults—think 18+ or mature teens with their parents. It’s a night for grown-ups to let loose, not a family-friendly Disney affair.
Tickets are available through the venue hosting the show. Check out the Visit Mom Said Duck on Tour section on my website for upcoming dates and links to purchase. And trust me, shows sell out fast—so don’t wait until the last minute!
Absolutely! I perform at theatres, corporate events, fundraisers, private parties, and more. Just head over to the “Bookings Available” section, fill out the form with the details, and let’s chat about bringing the laughs to your next event!
