Next Chicks and Giggles is November 9

It is new and improved and less expensive. NO Cover+ 2 drink minimum. The Chicks and Giggles show will now be at Raga on East 6th Street (between 1st and Avenue A). The lineup includes Claudia Cogan, Giulia Rozzi, Ophira Eisenberg, Correne Kristiansen, Jody Young and Michelle Maclay.

Female Comedians?

I started a google alert on "female comedians" and so far, I got nothing to share with you. Hopefully this site will make up for that.

Ladyfest starts this Thursday and there will be a Comedienne Show on Saturday.
COMEDIENNE SHOW FEATURING BECKY DONAHUE, KATIE McCABE, CHELSEA PERETTI, RACHEL FEINSTEIN + KELLI DUNHAM.

I only wish I heard about it sooner so that there would be more "Chicks and Giggles" alums there. Good going C&G alum Chelsea Peretti.

Fey and Poehler

I am so jazzed about this, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are doing weekend update!

From the AP:

Live from New York -- it's two women on the "Weekend Update" desk.

"Saturday Night Live" has kicked off its new season with Amy Poehler sitting alongside Tina Fey on the fake news desk.

Poehler replaces Jimmy Fallon, who left the show after last season.

Her first joke poked fun at Sen. John Kerry's performance during last week's presidential debate -- saying Kerry scored points with voters by announcing he has one position on Iraq: that he's "forgainst it."

As Fey began her next joke, Poehler interjected by announcing, "That was my first joke!" -- and Fey led a round of cheers.

Maysoon Monsoon
