BECAUSE us girls crave COMEDY that speak to US that WE feel included in and can understand in our own ways. BECAUSE we wanna make it easier for girls to see/hear each other’s work so that we can share strategies and criticize-applaud each other. BECAUSE viewing our work as being connected to our girlfriends-politics-real lives…

Awkward Moment (A Poem)
Significant pause. “Oh, oh, oh,” said the woman. “Oh, oh, oh (*build to climax – she doesn’t actually say this.

Two Months and I’m No More Evil
Hmmmmm… I’m rapidly discovering I suck at being evil – apparently being a bit bitchy and crude isn’t the sane thing. This will make some of you gasp and fall off your chairs – I might actually have to accept I might just be too nice! It’s like thinking you’re Lady McBeth and discovering you…
