Photo From 10th Anniversary Chicks and Giggles

On Sunday, May 18th, Chicks and Giggles celebrated the 10th anniversary for the show's inception. It was a blast! There was stand-up comedy, storytelling, music, ventriloquist and freestyle rap. Afterward there was a memorial for Jiwon Lee who passed away last month. The memorial was sad yet cathartic. I hope that the community of Chicks and Giggles and the general comedy community will support each other.

Chicks and Giggles 10th Anniversary Show

Yay! We're celebrating the tenth anniversary of Chicks and Giggles. What started as a stand-up comedy show, it is now a comedy of women who are actors, authors, comedians, musicians, storytellers and writers.

The upcoming Chicks and Giggles show has been covered in The Brooklyn Paper and The New York Times.

Holidaze!

Since our last show of 2006 is tonight, I thought I'd take a minute to relish in our accomplishments this year, including tonight's show being suggested by Gawker on its To Do List for today.

That last link is us:


Additionally, we've had an amazing year with press in:

• The New York Times
• BUST
• and a TV appearance on ABC News

We also did our first two college shows at Columbia University and Roanoke College, participated in the Mamapalooza Festival and performed as a part of PS 122's series at Spiegeltent.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. Special thanks go to everyone who has graced our stage - we wouldn't be anywhere without you!

XO,
Carolyn and Nichelle

We had a show where all the female performers had curly hair.  It was a niche within a niche.

Spiegeltent Recap

Despite a noisy AC, the show at the Spiegeltent was a great success. The venue is so beautiful, the technicians very talented and the beer readily available. You should definitely try to check out another show before the circus leaves town in September...

The show also featured fantastic stand-up from Michelle Buteau, Rachel Feinstein and Jess Wood. Once again, I enjoyed the shit out of rapping up the show freestyle with Miss Adira droppin' the beats. Thank you to everyone who showed Spiegelove!
