Summary:
Jackie 'Moms' Mabley was an African-American stand-up comic and showbiz pioneer who emerged from the Chitlin' Circuit of African-American Vaudeville to become a mainstream star on the stage and TV. Mabley pushed the boundaries of comedy by tackling topics such as gender, sex, and racism, making her one of the first taboo-pushing comedians on the comedy circuit. Once billed as 'The Funniest Woman in the World', she performed up until her death in 1975. Whoopi Goldberg directs and appears.
