We cannot get enough of Church Mother Zelma. She is hilarious. I know there is no such thing as waterproof make up. She is funny from the beginning to the end. We can’t wait to book her a third, and fourth time.

August 29, 2022Had us laughing from the beginning to the end!
Church Mother Zelma performed for my Women's Conference and when I tell you we enjoyed her tremendously, I mean it with every fiber in me. She was absolutely awesome and so very funny!!! We wanted her to keep going. Her timing, comedic genius, presence and originality was so appreciated by all in attendance. I cannot wait to have her back again, and again. She is a talent this world needs and everyone has been waiting for. I just do not believe our event would have been as successful without her. She was a much needed addition to our assignment. Thank you!
