The Pump and Dump Show on Tour
Motherhood brings people together, and The Pump and Dump Show is a testament to that fact. Shayna Ferm and Tracey "MC Doula" Tee kindled their friendship a quarter-century ago, while both were surviving eighth grade. They went their separate ways when college came calling; Ferm's career in New York comedy and music led her to guest roles on ‘Law & Order' and appearances on CNN and Comedy Central, while the Los Angeles-based Tee's copywriting gigs and entrepreneurial savvy launched a few websites. The pair reunited in Denver, their daughters' due dates three weeks apart, and fired up their friendship once more. In the throes of new motherhood, the pair decided to perform a comedy show for fellow parents at a local bar. The show's popularity blossomed, forcing Shayna and MC Doula to book bigger and bigger venues, and the duo launched their first national tour in 2015 – turning their brand into a juggernaut of T-shirts, CDs, stickers, and the 2018 book ‘Parentally Incorrect,' a collection of hilarious, gross, happy, and absolutely true stories from their audiences around the world.
The pair, who have been featured in Parents and on ‘Today,' describe their show as suited for a parents' night: "a raucous evening of comedy, music, prizes, games, swearing, and commiseration" that features original songs like "When I Die, I Want to Come Back as a Dad" and segments like "Stump the Breeder" that bring the audience into the fun. In 2018, The Pump and Dump Show launched a podcast in which the duo commiserates about motherhood, interviews sympathetic pals, and chats about life outside of motherhood from time to time.
