Naming The Show

I set up a google alert on female comedians, just so that I may keep up with was what's going on.
Anyway, there's a comedy night in Orlando.
Building a Community Performing Arts Center will present "An Evening of Estrogen," featuring four female comedians, at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Mount Dora Community Building.
An "Evening of Estrogen" reminds of the many horrible suggestions for names that I got when I was soliciting friends two years ago for the name of my all-girl comedy show that eventually became Chicks and Giggles. Some of the suggestions were:
  • American Midol
  • Comedivas
  • Funny Girls
  • Laugh Riot-Grrrls
  • See Jane Joke
  • PMS In The City (hell to the no!)
Feel free to use these names since I definitely won't be using them.
BTW, Dames and Chuckles is awful, too.:)

Riffs and Gigs: A Recap

Doing a weekly comedy show is one thing. Putting together a music concert is another story. We got a late start. The place was packed, and we had a fantastic show.
I think the total instrument count was two guitars, two ukeleles, a cello, three keyboards, a glockenspiel, and drum square and a drum kit!
Thanks to Rick from Mo Pitkins for being both a roadie and a sound guy!
Thanks to Allison for making red velvet cupcakes. Yum! Thanks to Adira, Erin, Aya, Mindy, Jessica, Touching You, Anne, Sydney, and Greg for providing the wonderfully funny music! Thanks to the audience who came and supported us. I want to give a big shout to Carolyn, as she hosted, rapped, and kept things rolling.

We plan to do another show in April with a freestyle battle. Holla!

Erin and Aya



No more parties at the zoo for Erin!
