The Pump and Dump Show Wants to Make All of the Moms Laugh this Weekend at the Royal Oak Music Theatre

It's no secret that parenting is hard. If you were ever told that being a parent would be easy, you were misinformed. Here at Hip in Detroit, neither of us are parents, but we have mad respect for those with enough guts to do it! Although it's not easy for moms or dads, moms have to go through a bit more when it comes to the whole parenting game, like carrying another human inside them for almost a year, recovering from getting that human out of them, and then after all of that, sometimes they might even decide to use their body to provide food for that little human. The entire process is grueling on the body and the mind. Then, on top of these physical aspects, comes the task of being "mommy". It's a life choice that many women love, but even the mommiest of mommies have to admit that it's hard sometimes! Taking care of another human being and making choices for them day in and day can't be easy, especially since now-a-days there's always a friendly person that is more than happy to tell you how you can do it better.

Two awesome women, Shayna Ferm and Tracey Tee, have created a show based on the life of parents, being a mom, and everything that comes along with that. They believe that being a parent is "fucked up" and they want people to laugh about it. The Pump and Dump Show is a "'night out' for parents where every kind of mom can be in the same room – no matter what type of diaper they use or if they ate their own placenta – and together they can laugh their c-section scars open". The show has had audiences laughing across the country and this Saturday night they are bringing that show to the stage at Royal Oak Music Theatre.

Tickets to see The Pump and Dump show start at $25 and can be purchased in advance here. You can also enter to win a pair of tickets to the show by emailing your name to hipindetroit@gmail.com with #pump&dump in the subject line. We will draw one lucky winner on Saturday morning and they will get to attend the show with a friend for free that night.
