Heather McMahan’s Second Stand-Up Special, Breadwinner, Premieres on Hulu
Get ready to laugh! Comedian and podcaster Heather McMahan is bringing her hilarious take on life to Hulu with her second stand-up special, Breadwinner, premiering on October 11. Filmed over two sold-out nights at the historic Fox Theatre in Atlanta, this one-hour special pays homage to McMahan’s southern roots and her journey as a “breadwinner.”
Fans of Heather McMahan will appreciate her signature style of humor as she navigates relatable topics like the pressure of being the financial backbone, wedding planning, and dealing with in-laws. The perils of being a “golf widow” are also explored, with McMahan delivering the jokes that keep her audience laughing. If you love comedy that touches on real-life situations with a hilarious twist, Breadwinner is for you.
McMahan humorously invites her audience to tune in with this witty remark: “Please watch this special so I can continue to financially dominate my husband and sleep like a boss bitch at night.” That level of sass is what fans have come to expect from her, and it’s what makes her such a unique voice in the comedy world.
If you missed her first special, Son I Never Had, it’s still available to stream on Netflix. Son I Never Had covers topics like TikTok therapy, delivering her dad’s eulogy with humor, and her battle with hitting her “emergency weight.” This special is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys McMahan’s comedic take on life’s ups and downs.
In addition to her stand-up specials, Heather McMahan hosts the podcast Absolutely Not, which boasts over 400,000 monthly downloads. With almost 1 million followers on social media, McMahan has cultivated a strong fanbase that appreciates her unfiltered humor and relatable stories.
McMahan joins the ranks of other comedy greats on Hulu, including Chris Distefano, Jim Gaffigan, and Bill Burr, as part of Hulu’s expanding comedy roster under the Hularious banner. Breadwinner was written, performed, and self-produced by McMahan’s Absolutely Not Productions. It was directed by Jen Zaborowski and produced by 800 Pound Gorilla alongside Maggie Haskins, Chris Ketner, and Christina Tompkins.
