Mother and stand-up comedian Kate Conner knows all about the different sides of parenting. It can be stressful, overwhelming and exhausting, but she also knows it can be hilarious.

For parents who could use a night out with a chance to relieve some stress, Conner has started a meetup.com group called The Funny Side of Parenting. She plans to host kid-free comedy events and other social gatherings to get your funny bone working.

Parents in the Montreal area are invited to join by visiting www.meetup.com/HahaMamaPapa.

Registration is free, a sense of humour is mandatory.
