Next Show: June 11 !

The Ladies loved the shit out of the Punch Line this week. Know that.

We’re back home at The Layover Tuesday June 11.

This month we’ve got a great mixture of Ladies Love favorites and first timers!

Featured Ladies …

Miss Nina G is one one of the nicest gals you’ll ever meet. She’s a legit pinball wizard. She is so very talented and has amazing hair. Therefore I hate her. Juuuuust kidding. I love her. That’s why she’s back to entertain you again.

Mimi Vilmenay is America’s Sweetheart. The prettiest girl at the ball. The girl, girls want to be and the girl guys want to be IN. She’s also foul mouthed, sarcastic and almost always inappropriate. But most importantly she’s really, really pretty.

Loren Kraut is a mutherfucking gangster and don’t you ever, ever, EVER fucking forget that shit cuz. On the real, she’s mad misunderstood. Fools think she some OCD lesbian but DON’T NOBODY KNOW what’s really real cause on the real….bitch gets REAAAAL.

Zahara Noorbakhsh In addition to having stunningly long lashes Zahara Noorbakhsh has a name I just know is going to be fun to say loudly into a microphone. She’s a clever, intelligent storyteller. Aren’t you lucky you get to see her for free!

Aly Jones When scouting around for new talent amongst my peers this young lady came up quite a few times so I figured we should invite her over to share the love. Love her won’t you?

Emily Van Dyke enjoys rubber duckies, lounging dudes and sunglasses in the pool. I applaud her. She seems like the kind of gal who really appreciates the importance of Summah. That goes a long way with me.

And of course I will be your host….Lydia Popovich represented this week by the bewildered eyes and wig of the incredible Theresa Caputo.

That’s right! We are back at the amazing Layover Tuesday May 14th with a stellar line up.

Ladies Loving the Layover….

Allison Mick is a fresh face and voice on the comedy scene. It’s lovely to see a young lady swashbuckling through the treacherous seas of humor here in the Bay Area. Give her your heart and your laughs!

Jenn Dronsky is adorable. Her unique sense of style sets her apart from the rest of the sartorially handicapped comedians. See what she’s wearing on May 14 when she joins us again to love the Layover.

Pippi Lovestocking is an American treasure. We are lucky that she lives right here in the Bay Area. She’s the poster gal for the City Clinic AND she has amazing jokes.

Chris Burns like the logo says, she’s hella thick n’ cute. She’s also hella fuckin’ funny. I’m thrilled to have her back.

Aaaand our headliner…..

Liz Grant is one of the funniest ladies I know. Straight up. She helped me fix a joke that has now become one of my favorite bits. Her humor is transcendent. Come get high on her comedy (even though she doesn’t do that any more) and see what I’m talking ‘bout.

Aaaand I’m back as your vivacious host Lydia Popovich represented here by this picture of Dolly Parton holding a kitty because I love kitties especially orange ones and let’s face it…DOLLY IS THE PRETTIEST ONE EVER.

Join us for laughs and drinks. Show is free. Drinks are on you. Tips welcomed & appreciated.

We start at 8:30pm.

See ya in Oakland.

NEXT SHOW: APRIL 9

Hello Internet Lovers.

The March show was remarkable. Something special happened that night between all of us girls and that room full of people.

Huge thanks to all in attendance….The Ladies will never forget you.

APRIL 9 is our next opportunity to love one another.

Let these Ladies Love you…

Your ILLUSTRIOUS guest host this month is ….

KELLY ANNEKEN

Kelly is the fucking best. THE BEST. I can’t say enough good things about this incredibly funny woman. She’s the head writer at Hobo Pancakes, the wonder woman behind Femikaze, host of Up Yours, Downstairs podcast, the host of Monday night comedy at Farley’s East aaaand can get her husband to be the Peggy to her Joan on Halloween. I mean come on. Leave some room for the rest of us to underachieve. Dang.

Follow her @thefatling

Clare O’Kane has something special. Something that other girls don’t have. It’s really HARD to put your finger on it without just wanting to wrap your hands around it and tug. It’s dark. It’s mysterious. Discover the mystery & wonder next Tuesday.

Follow her @clareoklare

Karinda Dobbins is a Ladies Love regular. We featured her on the SF edition: Ladies Love the Punch Line and she absolutely smashed it. Her comedy is real, inspired, intelligent and all kinds of other adjectives that still don’t do her justice. Catch her while you can before she flies back to planet awesome.

Follow her @KarindaDobbins

Suzy Vincent has been disappointing audiences since the gang bang of ‘89, or at least that is what her website says. This is her first appearance at Ladies Love and I’m sure it won’t be her last.

Follow her @thesuzyvincent

Nicole Calasich was recently introduced by a fellow comic as “a friend to everyone.” Here she is with a stranger’s dog. Instant friends. That’s how she rolls. Let her befriend you.

Follow her @calasich

Gina Ritter was one of the very first ladies to love the Layover. She’s finally back to delight us again with her tales of cranky mom-dom and stories so inappropriate you’ll blush. I can’t wait.

Follow her @GinaRitter

Aaaand of course there’s me. Unfortunately I will NOT be in attendance this month. I will be performing at the San Francisco Punch Line. If you are in SF please join us for Comedy Stylings hosted and conceptualized by Mary Van Note. The concept is simple - Comics telling jokes in their favorite clothes. Genius right?

In celebration, here is a picture of one of my fav pair of shoes.

drewharmoncomedy:

FYI - tonight I’m hosting a pretty kick-ass show that also happens to be in a Christian bookstore and is what we in the biz call a “Clean” show. That means all shits will be doodies, all cocks will be wee-wee’s and all double-penetration raw rough anal will be “hug sessions.” Wanna see this…

The Christian bookstore across the street from the Layover is having clean comedy shows over the weekend. Check it out!

Corrections

Our Jan. 23 comedy preview, “The Return of the Comics,” stated that are no SF Sketchfest shows happening in the East Bay. In fact, there is one happening at The Layover on February 5.

“San Francisco is undergoing a comedy boom. I’m hesitant to call it a renaissance; that diminishes the people who have been doing standup for much longer than the new wave of practitioners, but it’s hard to deny there’s a new level of talent emerging from the nooks and crannies of our fair city’s dive bars. I am not an impartial observer to this scene: I have skin in the game as a producer and performer. I do open mics and showcases at places like Milk Bar on Haight and the Layover in Oakland.”
