Online comedy is the hotness right now, so here’s two more websites where you can submit your wit!

ComedyNet wants: Submit comedy shorts films, original comedy sketches, mockumentaries, animation.

Rooftop Comedy wants: Send them a video clip or your stand-up, sketch, or short film to win fame and prizes.

She ain’t no dummy.

Our favorite ventriloquist, Carla Rhodes made this video with her pal Cecil for the Serpentine Gallery in London. It’ll be shown as part of an interactive piece later this week. According to Carla, “The premise was to create a nonsense political platform, rant and persuade the crowd for votes. We had less than 2 weeks to write, produce, film, edit, etc – so it was interesting, to say the least…” Enjoy!

3rd Anniversary Recap: May 29, 2007

Leather and Crystal are the two gifts recommended for a 3rd anniversary, so I hosted our big celebratory show as Penelope Itchalot, nationally certified Crystal Methamphetamine dealer. She presented the magical skills of Adira Amram, Ann Carr, Erin and her Cello, Mindy Raf, Carla Rhodes and Becky Yamamoto. It was a fantastic night, “rapped” up by some gully freestyle shizz that paid homage to all in attendance. Thanks to everyone who came out and to all of the laydeez who’ve graced our stage over the last three years. You da bomb, sista!

The Poetry vs. Comedy/Chicks and Giggles mashup this Tuesday was a huge success, literally.  60 people filled the downstairs space at Mo Pitkin’s and had a raucous good time.  Mad props to Leibya Rogers who was the winner of the event.  Be sure to go to her CD release show on June 7th!

Murph Guide columnist Jackie Beach stopped by Chicks and Giggles on May 8, and loved the show. Katina Corrao guest hosted. I especially loved that she really gets what our show name means:

The show presents exactly what its name promises – women and laughter.

I took this picture a few weeks ago in Harlem. The baths aren’t open anymore, but I love the signage. Honestly, who wants to get naked with dudes who can’t spell?

I’d like to quickly give a big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Got MILF? It was an excellent night of live comedy with a bunch of amazing women on the lineup. Be sure to drop in next week when we combine our show with PVC. (See the Upcoming Lineups page for details.)

It’s Coming…
