Comedian and actress Whitney Cummings has revealed what she calls “the best toy for your toddler” – one that serves a dual purpose of keeping children entertained while ensuring parents stay alert and present.
Toddler Hack With Safety Benefits
“Moms! I know the best toy for your toddler that also gets you off your phone so nobody falls down the stairs ❤️” Cummings wrote in her Instagram post.
The comedian’s post cleverly addresses a common parenting concern: how staying distracted on phones can lead to potential safety hazards when supervising young children. While Cummings doesn’t specify exactly what the toy is in her written caption, the implication is that engaging with both the toy and child keeps parents present and alert.
Extensive Tour Schedule Announced
The second part of her Instagram caption reveals her busy touring schedule: “see you next weekend Lexington Indianapolis then Tennessee Vegas Virginia Florida Philly New Orleans and on and on…”
This extensive tour comes as Cummings balances her comedy career with new motherhood. The 41-year-old comedian welcomed her first child, a son, in 2023 via gestational surrogate, an experience she has incorporated into her comedy material.
Balancing Motherhood And Comedy Career
Recent Instagram posts from Cummings provide further insight into her life as a touring comedian and new mother. In one post, she humorously noted: “Not ideal that I travel so much my son thinks luggage is called mama but he’s gonna come with me on some tour dates don’t call cps.” This shows the comedian’s typical self-deprecating style while addressing the challenges of balancing parenthood with a demanding career.
In another post showing multiple photos of her with her son, Cummings wrote: “Not easy but I’m leaving this munchkin to come make yall hoot and holler.” The photos capture tender moments between the comedian and her child, showing a more personal side to the typically sharp-witted performer.
Audience Engagement And Tour Promotion
Cummings has been actively promoting her tour through social media, finding creative ways to connect with different audience demographics. In one post, she specifically invited parents to bring teenagers to her shows, saying: “Moms feel free to bring your teenagers to my live shows and we will give them all the advice so you don’t have to be the bad guy.”
This approach demonstrates Cummings’ understanding of her audience, particularly parents who might appreciate her candid take on challenging topics they might struggle to discuss with their children.
