Undomesticated & Unbothered w/ Essence & Hailey Brooks is what happens when two hilarious women juggling kids, comedy, questionable decisions, and adulthood decide therapy isn’t enough—they need microphones.
Streaming on YouTube, comedians Essence and Hailey Brooks bring their unapologetic perspectives to the beautiful disaster known as being single parents while chasing dreams in the comedy world.
From dating while somebody’s child is asking for snacks to bombing on stage and pretending it was “good experience,” nothing about the grind is off-limits.
Joined by a rotating lineup of stand-up comedians, comedic entertainers, content creators, and professional bad influences, Essence and Hailey dive into dating disasters, parenting chaos, comedy politics, friendships, situationships, career struggles, red flags they probably ignored, and all the ridiculous decisions that somehow make great stories later.
It’s part comedy podcast, part group chat, part “we probably shouldn’t be saying this on camera”—and that’s exactly the point.
No perfect parents. No perfect relationships. No pretending anybody has adulthood figured out.
Just two funny women raising kids, chasing laughs, building friendships, surviving the grind, and remaining completely Undomesticated & Unbothered.
Because the kids might be domesticated eventually.
Their mothers? Absolutely not.
On this episode, both are comedians and solo parents based in Las Vegas; Essence is from North Las Vegas and works in tech, while Haley grew up outside of Philadelphia and has a background in journalism and sports hosting. They bonded through comedy, despite initially struggling as openers, and began collaborating on content. They discuss their viral “heckle hole” video from a golf course and how they navigate online criticism. They share perspectives on being “undomesticated” moms who prioritize their individuality and mental health over societal expectations of perfection. The show serves as a space for them to discuss their lives, comedy, and experiences as they invite listeners to provide feedback and suggestions for future episodes.
