Description
Queer Queens of Qomedy are Back!

This all-lesbian comedy revue is taking the country by storm. From Santa Cruz to Raleigh Durham, Chicago and now back by popular demand to Santa Cruz, this comedy show is getting mad applause.

Poppy Champlin, a veteran comedian, currently on HBO's Documentary “All Aboard Rosie's Family Vacation”, who the Chicago Sun Times called Blisteringly Funny during the closing ceremonies of the Gay Games, hosts and produces this all Queer Comedy show.

The first queen holding court is Michele Balan, a native New Yorker and top finalist on Last Comic Standing. Michele is next in-line to do the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She has been compared to George Burns because of ! her qui ck and pointed one liners that are non stop, hitting their mark every time.

The next reigning queen is Marga Gomez, a San Francisco sweet heart. A favorite on Olivia cruises, starring in the hit comedy documentary “Laughing Matters!” She won a GLAAD award for one of her many off-broadway one-woman shows. She has appeared on HBO’s Comic Relief, Tracy Takes On and Showtime’s Latino Laugh Festival.

The third queen in this trilogy is Karen Ripley another San Francisco native who has been a staple in the lesbian comedy community since Kate Clinton came out. Her Deadpan delivery is likened to a Steven Wright and right she is. Seen on LOGO’s Wisecracks she is a crack up.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Diversity Center. Whatever your sexuality, nationality, religious or political persuasion, the Queer Queens of Qomedy are sure to bring you to your feet with laughter. If you want to spend the night laughing, then come spend the night with The Queer Queens of Qomedy. All hail the Queens!
