Former Miss New Jersey and Miss America Competition Preliminary Host, Dena Blizzard, will debut a variation of her “One Funny Mother” stand-up show off Broadway, with a preview today, March 31, 2016 and regular performances beginning April 9, 2016. Though the show is based on the stand-up performances Blizzard has done for nearly 10 years, it is not a stand-up comedy show. The stories focus mainly on family and relationships.
“The impetus for everything is that this is a topic that is so universal,” Blizzard told The Press of Atlantic City about being a mom and parenthood in general. “We’ve had great success on the road, and to bring it to New York … it’s just a dream.”
Dena has performed stand up all over the country since launching her career over 12 years ago. She has been featured in the NY Times and has performed at Gotham Comedy Club, The Laugh Factory, and The Comedy Stop at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. Dena has also performed at the United Nations for the Comedy Cures foundation in 2009 and is a winner of the coveted Ladies of Laughter competition. Dena’s success has launched her into careers in talk radio, as well as, a warm-up comedian for Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric, The Chew,and The Rachel Ray Show.
The Miss America Organization congratulates Dena Blizzard on this exciting new endeavor and wishes her continued success!
