Comedy Night - An Evening Featuring all Female Comedians

A Benefit for the Dove Project
Leah Mansfield

Vashon Island never used to be funny. You know this is true; you have been to the Heritage Museum. But over the past few years, Vashon has become a comedy juggernaut. Four or five times a year.
This is one of those times, and after nine straight male-dominated shows, we’re dropping the mic...into the smooth, lotion-filled hands of the ladies. Janet McAlpin will be our mistress of ceremonies for THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID: AN EVENING of STANDUP COMEDY by WOMEN.
The show will feature headliners Leah Mansfield and Shannon Whaley and the always less predictable but usually more consequential sets from that group of local luminaries willing to lose whatever credibility they might have had in this community by stepping up on the boards themselves to make us laugh.
This night we have enlisted the help of the inimitable barista Anna Sweezey, provider of coffee with an attitude; Maria Glanz, the star of See Me Naked, who says she will be appearing with only her wit exposed; the playwright responsible for Spellbound: A Musical Play on Words, Mindy WoManley Little; and the one woman star of the one-woman show Bozophobia, one woman, Susan Harris.
All of this and the chance to help the DoVE Project. Seriously, we all know that women on this island never like to say anything aloud or really communicate at all, but they must be thinking something. Come find out.
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID will take place at the Red Bicycle Bistro and Sushi Bar on Friday night, December 14th at 8pm. This show will be a benefit for Vashon’s DoVE Project, an agency that assists survivors of domestic violence. Tickets $10.
Friday December 14, 8 p.m. At the Red Bicycle, 17618 Vashon Hwy - 206-463-5959
