Chicks and Giggles

This was the second week of our second show, Chicks and Giggles’ Hell’s Angels, and it was a blast! Host Margot Leitman and her “coke haircut” regaled the small but loud crowd with her story of a fight she witnessed after a comedy show. Rosie Rebel’s set was crazy! She showed the crowd how much you can move around with a mic and a mic stand while wearing with hot pink tights. Sara Benincasa was a dirty delight with her sexy stories. Then Helen Hong shocked the crowd with tales of her Banana Republic days. Del closed the show with a crack about a crackhead. If you want to know the stories, the set-ups and the punchlines, come to midtown next Friday!

Last night we had another great crowd for another great show!  The enchanting Claudia Cogan kicked things off with her disdain for hipsters and her witty crowd work as she ushered two latecomers into the room.  Catie Lazarus batted second with an average of 1,000, riffing on such lighthearted topics as Lebanon and Darfur, with slugger Joselyn Hughes right behind dishing about her credit card bill from one too many plays on the digital jukebox.  The title of this post refers to a clever bit Erica Skeete has about being “Black British” and applying for jobs, which was followed by the observations and complaints of the delightful (and pregnant!) Clea Wilson.  The show was brought home by none other than Lady Pat Candaras, who is always as enlightening as she is entertaining.  (When you click the link I’ve provided for her, please know that you will see a bizarre 30 second commercial for Green Giant or something first, but then you’ll be rewarded with a great feature on her from her recent appearance on Funniest Mom in America III.)

If you’ve been kicking yourself for missing the show downtown loves, you’re right!  Why don’t you come on down and see us sometime?  We’ve got outstanding lineups set all the way through 2008!  Tuesdays at 8 pm, Mo Pitkin’s, 34 Ave. A.

Thanks to Shawn McCarthy for mentioning our show on his blog Funny Business this week.

Here’s a great video from Julie Klausner and Jackie Clarke all about how to get fit.  (Can’t embed for some reason, but you gotta click and watch!)
