Pay to go hear other people talk about their kids?

Most people would probably pass.

But they might want to make an exception for 3 Blonde Moms, a feisty comedy trio making its first trip to Pittsburgh for a weekend at the Funny Bone.

3 Blonde Moms -- not to be confused with the rock band 3 Non Blondes -- are three veteran stand-up comedians from the same L.A. neighborhood who debuted at the Montreal Just for Laughs in 2005.

The ringleader is Joanie Fagan, best known for playing Faith (the president of The Optimists Club) on "The Drew Carey Show." She's joined by Beaumont Bacon, who played one of Renee Zellweger's office friends in the movie "Jerry Maguire" and had her own one-woman show, "Raging Beau," in Chicago, and Helen Keaney, who has hosted shows on E!, The Style Network, TLC and more.

Thus far, the Blonde Moms have stuck to standup, dishing about kids, husbands, in-laws and other family matters. But there are projects in the works. They plan a concert film, a sitcom development and a movie series called "Adventures of the 3 Blonde Moms." "Kind of like Mary-Kate and Ashley movies or the Abbott and Costello movies," Fagan says in a phone interview from her home.

Here's what she had to say about the Moms:

Q. How did you get started?

A. All of us had been doing standup comedy for 10 or 15 years, and we've all been doing commercials and television shows and movies. But when I became a mom, I started talking about it on stage and everyone was like, 'My gosh, we're totally listening. Nobody's talking about this.' I was on stage and Vegas and a mom came up and said, 'Thank you for making what we do every day sound so funny.'

Q. So all three of you had an emphasis in your act on being a mom?

A. Right. We're all completely different moms with three different points of view. My personality is sort of perky. I'm like the Stepford Wife on too much caffeine. I do a joke like 'When I walk out of the house, all the other moms run back in theirs.' I'm sort of the overachiever mom, the pearl-wearing, organizing, PTA mom.

Q. Those moms usually aren't funny.

A. Yeah, they're not. I'm about to snap, actually. That's the funny part. The funny part is no one can do it all perfectly. I'm totally on the verge of just losing it. If she makes one more craft, one more lanyard, she's just going to lose it. I say in my act that I had a lot of cravings during my pregnancy: One night I woke up and had to have a Mercedes.

Q. And how about the other two?

A. I thought it would be funny to cast completely different moms than myself. So Helen Keaney is like our hottie, sassy married-to-a-felon mom. She's actually married to a felon. And we're not sure what he did, but she says it 'rhymes with hamslaughter.' She says it's perfect: He can't cheat on her, because he can't leave the house without the ankle bracelet going off. And then we've got Southern Beaumont Bacon who grew up in a house that looks like it was on Southfork in 'Dallas.' Her husband's name is Angus, and she's got that Southern Annie Oakley meets Yosemite Sam flair.

Q. Did you actively recruit them or did you just decide to do the show together?

A. Both. The beauty is that we're all actually friends. When you live in a cul de sac, you don't choose who you're neighbors are, but you become friends because you have that in common and you have motherhood in common. And I find that moms just bond immediately, no matter what our backgrounds are.

Q. So you all have different mothering styles?

A. Yeah. I'm the private school mom. And Helen, of course, sends her kids to public school because she thinks it's a better example than her own home. But she is considering home-schooling because she thinks her kids can clean while she takes a nap. Beaumont, she's got the kids in the academy but they also work the ranch.

Q. It sounds like this tends to be a Ladies Night Out.

A. It is, but we don't just talk about changing diapers. We talk about in-laws and schools and neighbors and friends. Men love our show. A lot of women will come with their friends and come the next night with their husbands.

Q. That could be two nights of babysitting. And you probably have a crowd that doesn't get out much.

A. I find that there are moms who haven't gone out in years. We've had people weeping in the audience. It's a spiritual experience for them. 'Oh my god, oh my god, I'm out!' They forgot what it was like to be out and have a release, go out and hang with their friends. And our crowd, they eat. A lot. Our audience, it's almost like we're providing a service -- it's more than comedy.

Q. Too bad comedy clubs don't have better food.

A. Exactly. Helen's got this thing. She won't work unless there are good egg rolls in town. Yeah, a comedy club will have popcorn and nachos. But others will have these gourmet desserts. The kitchen gets backed up every time we do a show.
