Chicks for Chicks
On Thursday, November 17, I had the pleasure of hosting comics Katina Corrao, Jen Dziura, Lorca Morello, Giulia Rozzi and Jenny Rubin at our fundraiser for the YWCA, held at 440 Studios. Here's what the folks from the Y had to say about our show:
From Melissa Lin, Development Associate:
Thanks again for all the time you've put in for us. It's truly appreciated, and I think it really went well. I was wondering if you could forward the names of the comedians last night to me, as well as the rest of the group? People have been asking me what their names are, etc... I think we have some real groupies here!
Anyway please pass on our regards to the comedians... They were fabulous. I'm definitely keeping my Tuesdays open...
From Jerome Grant:
I would also like to say CONGRATS to all of you for putting this special evening together. It was very well done and I think everyone in attendance had a great time.
Thank you all for your support of the YW.

Praise From Richard, The Brit
Richard Cray from the British comedy music collective, Dogs Must Be Carried, stop by our show and was impressed.
From his blog:
He also mentioned this:
From his blog:
The show’s poster claims the show has the “funniest females ever” and on the basis of what we saw on Tuesday, that may not be a boast without foundation - because we were treated to some classy material from some extremely entertaining ladies, all skillfully kept moving along at a pace by co-producer Carolyn Castiglia, who’s currently juggling her stand up work with being a mother to a five-week-old baby girl. I don’t know where she gets the energy - but I have a feeling it might not be available at Rite Aid.
He also mentioned this:
Lianne Stokes’ “Do I look like a motherfuckin’ mindreader?” routine will stay with me for a very long time, as will Mindy Raf’s painfully funny impersonation of an average Midwest girl having an orgasm. It was a great, great show - fitting for a last night in town - and I reckon that they’ll be looking for a yet another, bigger venue in the not too distant future.
Mindy and her V4 Million
Comic Mindy Raf, who just did our show for the first time, is featured in this great video short by The Post Show boys. Check it out! (Calling all ladies - cute bare chest at the end - holla!)

Chicks & Giggles: November 15 Recap
Last night's show was sizzling hot! We had some unexpected changes in the line-up but it worked out perfectly in the end. The comics brought their "A+" game and the crowd was howling with laughter. Carolyn, the hostess with the mostest kicked off our show!
Poppi
She's not that girl...
She is not Marissa Jaret Winokur, Mindy Cohn or Wendy Jo Sperber.
[I hope Poppi's mom likes this picture better.]

Correne Saves The Day
An Ex-lawyer done good. She makes people laugh instead of cry. She reads Craig's List to get a date and a futon.
The Crowd
They're not laughing yet, because some New Yorkers don't like their picture taken! Don't worry, a digital camera won't steal your soul, but working on Wall Street will.
