Loretta Mary Aiken, better known as Jackie "Moms" Mabley, was born on March 19, 1894, in North Carolina. With her iconic baggy house dress and floppy shoes, she became a pioneer in using humor as a tool to critique social and political realities. Mabley graced the stage of the iconic Apollo Theater numerous times. In a time when opportunities for women in comedy were scarce, she shattered barriers as the first female comedian to perform at the Apollo. Beyond the Apollo, Mabley's talents graced the stages of Harlem Renaissance theaters and the silver screen. Her groundbreaking television appearance came in 1967 when she starred in an all-Black comedy show produced by Harry Belafonte. Moms Mabley died in 1975 due to complications from a heart attack. She was 81 years old. Happy heavenly birthday, Moms Mabley. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

JACKIE “MOMS” MABLEY (1897-1975) African American comedienne Loretta Mary Aiken created the elderly lady persona Jackie “Moms” Mabley. Mabley started out in the all-Black Theater Owners Booking Association or T.O.B.A. vaudeville circuit in the 1920s. She was the first female comedian to perform solo at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and headline Carnegie Hall.

Rebecca Traister article Best of Moms Mabley album
Frances G. Leeson '14 describes how Jackie "Moms" Mabley directly contributed to the civil rights movement while assuaging the difficult process of achieving consensus within activist movements. Although women are often excluded in the popular memory of both the civil rights movement and black comics in the United States, the most financially successful, and arguably influential, black comedian of the 1960s was Jackie “Moms” Mabley. She appeared on stage as a bedraggled, grandmother figure that boldly asserted her sexual desires while slyly critiquing segregation, the United States government, and incongruous behavior within majority and minority populations. Through a study of Jackie Mabley and the communities she created around her comedy, Frances found justification to broaden our definitions for political action and activism.
