Plot Synopsis

MY LIFE IS A JOKE is a reality series that follows five female comedians -- Kellye Howard, Natalie Jose, Jessica Joy, Lisa Laureta, and Patti Vasquez -- as they struggle to pay bills, raise kids, maintain relationships, and work mind-numbing day jobs. Patti, Latina supermom, headliner and breadwinner, hits the road to support her family; Kellye, a funny and fierce African-American engaged mother of two, finds her voice as she opens up about the recent death of her daughter; Lisa, dog groomer by day and funny lady by night, lands her first real paying gig at the renowned Laugh Factory; Natalie, the newbie from old money, prepares to perform for her seemingly disapproving father for the first time; and Jessica, a cancer survivor and the quirky sketch comedienne, gets a surprising call from SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network aired a sneak-peek episode on Sunday January 6, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT.
