Michelle Buteau is delivering drollery about the unfiltered nuances of motherhood.

The stand-up comedian stars in the new Neon-produced comedy, “Babes,” alongside Ilana Glazer, which follows two best friends as they navigate the complexities of motherhood. For Buteau, this is a role she knows all too well.

In January 2019, Buteau and her husband welcomed twins via surrogate: “After years of trying, countless needles #ivf and too many procedures to remember.” Now, she’s using her motherhood journey to lay the foundation while harnessing her prowess as a comedian in this laugh-out-loud flick.

She also credits director Pamela Adlon, who “has this gift, this magic of making real-life situations hilarious and helping you feel less alone.”

With comedy on one hand and her most prized role as a doting Mom on the other, Buteau magically combines the two while illustrating just how raw and edgy parenthood can be while balancing a family and a career.  

BET.com talked to the comedian about the film's hysterical moments and how her role as a mom IRL to twins helped her bring her character to life.

Bet.com: What made you hop on board after reading the script?

Michelle Buteau: Well, first of all, I love Ilana Glazer. As a friend and as a comedian, I love her brand of humor. I love how real it is. It's so funny because once females talk about stuff that happens to a body, all of a sudden it's raunchy, but it's life. 

Bet.com: How does it feel to use relatable experiences such as childbirth to help usher laughs?

Michelle Buteau: Comedy has always been my saving grace. It's helped me find my voice. It's helped me figure out how to talk about stuff in a relatable, palatable way. It's great that people can be entertained and educated through love and laughter. 

Bet.com: As a mom to twins, how did that dynamic help you to dive into your character?

Michelle Buteau: I have two kids, and I am a tired mom. I try to make time for my friends, but why are my single friends always late? Like, what are they doing? Trying on shoes to take a picture? Just hurry up! 

It's that dynamic of your chosen family [while] in different places. So, being a mom helped me move through the world differently. Now I can see people's inner child. 

Bet.com: One of the funniest scenes occurred in the beginning when you have gone into labor. Was that pure improv? How many takes were needed to nail that scene?

Michelle Buteau: It is a true story. Susie Fox, a producer of this movie, had a friend who had almost given birth in the lobby. When you are in that much pain, you just try to find a position that helps. So, I think I did that scene about four times. I don't think I had knee pads on. I was like, “I have three or four takes in me because I’ll I start to get lightheaded.” And I'm a fainter. When you're a fainter with titties, nobody [is] trying to be with the trust fall.
