PEDIGO WROTE THIS AND I LAUGHED:

It’s no secret how I feel about “all women” comedy shows. I don’t do them.. for the same reason I’m not in the Special Olympics.
I really like working with other women comics, but will never do another show where “Hot” “Pretty” or “Girlz”  appear in the title.
A few months ago I was talking about this very subject with my comic friend, Alysia. Other than the fact that she’s funny, I like Alysia because she reminds me of me. (I know, how could I not like her?) She’s a young, not jaded me. The use to be me. Still excited about comedy and the business. She works hard and never wants to offend anyone. Hopes and dreams still intact.
Ahhh…those were the days that I sort of remember.
Anyway, we met for drinks one afternoon and while talking shop she said something like “I think  ‘A Confederacy of Cunces’ would be a funny name for a comedy tour.
I stopped mid dirty martini sip…A parody of one of my favorite books of all time. I couldn’t believe it. This was the best anti-girl show title ever.
My heart stopped. I grabbed her by her lapel..
“Have you told anyone else that title?” I gasp
“Yes, I told someone they could use it but I don’t think she will.”
My career flashed before my eyes.
“You listen to me. Call her and take it back.” I said between clenched teeth.
“Seriously?” She asked
Downing the rest of my chilled vodka and olive juice I said “Yes, seriously.” feeling the burn in my chest.
“Okay. Relax, dude.” She said
and I did…and the rest is history…almost…we also forced the very funny Sarah Colonna to become a cunce….which isn’t even a word, but they wont print in the newspaper or let us say it on the radio…either way it’s still funny….my friends say “I thought you didnt do girl shows?…

its not a girl show….the comics just happen to be women….so shut up…

We are touring cool cities across the country.
