One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman
-Simone Beauvoir
What is Radical Feminism? Why have a radical feminist comedy show?
Here’s some history :
Well - this can be subjective much like comedy depending on who you ask. For us - it means that the struggle and experiences of women and other out-groups such as those in the LGBTQ community and people of color is that we have common goals and aspirations of making the world a more equitable place. A place that will continue to not be, if we don’t come together as a collective and if our ideas aren’t amplified.
Ideas are powerful. They can shift the paradigm. They can topple governments. And they can also make many people laugh their tuchus off. This is not your average comedy show - this is a lineup carefully curated for those among us who want to hear diverse and female centric voices be showcased and what they have to say under this current political climate. We are putting the fun back in feminist rage with an all-star line up to boot 🎭

Her fearless, ruthlessly witty humor has been described as *chefs kiss* 💋 She hails originally from Bar Harbor in Maine (also known as small Portland).

JENNIFER ROSE!!! Jenn’s rancorous yet subtle style is definitely for everyone but especially the person in your life who does not find anything funny.

CLAIRE MUSCAT!!! is a new comic but is not to be underestimated; her self-awareness of her own cynicism is only matched with her charming way of piecing together her own puzzle to the audience’s own delight and is kind of like great therapy for them.
