Kelly MacFarland is alive and kicking on her sophomore release, You Woke Up Today! (out January 13, 2017 on Rooftop Comedy). On this latest hour of stand-up, the newly married woman and stepmom approaching middle age provides the blueprint to becoming a modern and independent woman, wife and mom. From explaining how not to listen to a wedding planner, finding good ways to tell your kids how they could die, and drinking away the feeling of inadequacy from crafty projects on Pintrest, Kelly’s humor on stage is smart, inventive and endearing.
