I got up super early and went to the NYMieg Comedy and Online Media breakfast panel at the Samsung Experience Store at the Time Warner Center. I’m way too lazy to do a recap, but here’s a recap from NYconvergence and here’s an interesting commentary by Bill Cammack.
By the way, Carolyn Castiglia, Michelle Buteau, Claudia Cogan and Susannah Perlman will be in Raleigh, North Carolina for their hilarious show, The Obama Girls of Comedy. If you are in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, then go to the show on Monday.

March is Women’s History Month, and the kids at NYU and Roanoke College got skooled this year by the Chicks and Giggles crew! The center photo is from our gig at NYU and the rest are from the after-party at Roanoke. Y’all know how to have a good time! Thanks so much to Liz Bohinc and Stephanie Garst for making both shows happen.
Hey all,
After over 2 years as a weekly show, we’ve decided to change tactics and do the show monthly. We’ll be at a new venue (details TBC) and we’re very excited about this change. Much as we love Ochi’s and Comix (shout out to Kambri Crews and Molly Mandel!), it will be fun to host our fabulous show in a larger venue once again. That said, be sure to come out and see the last show at Ochi’s THIS TUESDAY, MARCH 18! Details below. Spread the word!

Diana and I went upstairs after the last show and caught a bit of DJ Cipha’s “Don’t Get Gassed” series. I couldn’t help but snap a few pics of Rich Vos and Godfrey, who were both very funny. Bonnie McFarlane, aka Mrs. Vos, was in the house with their baby girl as well. Adorable!
