One week away!!! And for this installment of Countdown to SFNYC I asked Elizabeth Ellis of MEAT (and co-producer of SFNYC) to interview one of her favoritest sketch women around. She picked the totally amazing, wonder woman of a human being Jordana Barnes of Portland’s The 3rd Floor (playing Friday the 8th). Read as they wax philosophical on women in comedy, childhood fantasies, and talk about their sketch relationships. […]
Two Girls for $5 is a comedy duo birthed in Boston and performing all over this great nation. Self described as a “portrayal of lonely ladies who do desperate things”, they have a way of making that fun to watch (and read!) instead of just sad and uncomfortable. You may have caught them during their run last year at The PIT or more recently at the LA Comedy Festival. They will […]
In one month (June 7-9th) SketchFest NYC is returning for it’s third year. SketchFest NYC is one of many Sketchfests (sketch comedy festivals) popping up around the nation and Canada since 1999, the first of which was Sketchfest Seattle. There are festivals in Chicago, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto, etc. The talent is supreme and the community something I will cherish for the rest of […]
Tonight at 8pm at Galapagos for a measly 5 bucks, Becky Yamamoto presents her one-woman show, “The Oklahoma Project.” Written and performed by Yamamoto, and directed by Aron Epstein, The Oklahoma Project is half Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical Oklahoma, and half…constructed memory of a father Becky’s never met. So jump in that surrey with the fringe on top and head to Brooklyn to laugh at the catharsis!

I hear a lot of people often making cracks about “The Vagina Monologues.” This is probably just due to lack of awareness of why it is performed so much. Sure, from an outsider’s perspective, the show is over-exposed and overdone. What most people don’t know is that it is done worldwide this time of year as a part of V-Day– a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. The V-day mission is: “A catalyst that promotes […]

Recently, while doing a stand up set at the always hilarious “Drink at Work” show, I had the rare opportunity to see producer/writer Carol Hartsell perform. Reading a laugh-a minute, well-constructed piece entitled “Dear Every Woman in the Bar Other Than Me” she not only killed, but struck a chord deep inside my novice single-person’s heart. I decided Ms. Hartsell would be a prime subject for a discussion on what is sexy, […]

Not only is this show funny, but it also is a celebration of positive, open sexual discussion. I had had the priviledge of performing on this show once, when a live phone call was made to porn star Nina Hartley, who gave the audience instructions of how to properly satisfy each other. She told us to all try to have orgasms that night, and I’m sure many left that show and made Nina’s wish come true. I’m quite […]
Is your family always like, “quit freestyle rapping and get a job!”? Do you win people over with your hilarious comedy routines?

Before you think you’re not cool enough to participate know that the focus lies in being funny and taking down your opponent. It’s comedians who freestyle rap, […]
