Once upon a time not long ago,
when people wore pajamas and lived life slow...
On Tuesday, May 11, 2004 at the Laugh Lounge, the first Chicks and Giggles show was hosted by Ellen Lloyd and featured Carolyn Castiglia, Jeannie Dean, Liz Maher, Abby Rosin, Jenny Rubin,Tasha Space and Jill Twiss. Since then the show squatted for six months in comedy club on the LES, then resided in the basement of an Indian fusion restaurant for a year in the East Village, and now Chicks is living large in the small bar aptly named Sadie's Lounge at Mo Pitkins on Avenue A.
Chicks and Giggles was an idea I came up with when I first moved back to New York City after a brief stint in Atlanta. At first the goal was, if anything, to entertain myself at night while I toiled away at a Midtown consulting firm. Then I saw the need for a place for women to perform and network with others to perform and produce shows. Two years later, I have a great co-producer and host Carolyn and a community of comedians, women, performers, actors, authors, moms, MILFs,musicians and all-around good folks who come to the show every week.
Come Tonight to our very special "Got MILF" because without the mothers...where would we be? [Happier, more well-adjusted people, but without good comic material :)]
