“You leave feeling happier, lighter, and more connected than before you came...
It's The Perfect Girls Night Out!”
WOMEN YOU SHOULD KNOW.COM says:
"Founded by Laura Bartlett, Four Funny Females, the award-winning, all-female stand up comedy tour, began in 2006 as a grass-roots effort to “get women laughing again”, and has since become a sort of Ya-Ya Sisterhood for women who would normally never walk into a comedy club. The New York Times proclaims, “If you’re longing for the sisterhood lost by the departure of Oprah, then get found here.”
Laura, the daughter of a prominent surgeon, realized quickly that she wasn’t cut out for “sick people” and leapt into the world of stand-up comedy. Laura’s fellow comics, Jan Norton, Sherry Belle, Linda Stogner, are all professional women who make their living off stage as an IT consultant, marketing executive, and an Emmy award winning filmmaker.
These ladies draw from personal experiences and observations from everyday life that make them laugh, each bringing a unique comic sensibility to the stage that’s quirky, relatable, edgy and painfully funny. Jodi’s geek chic is the yin to Sherry’s southern charm yang. Laura’s blonde ambition prepares audiences to blast off to Linda’s off-kilter planet of talking squirrels, flying dogs and other strange happenings. All of which come together in harmony on stage, creating an atmosphere that is intimate and connected.
Four Funny Females perform an annual comedy series at the McKinney Performing Arts Center in Texas. You can also follow them on Facebook."
