Julie Goldman's Offensive Women, the all-headliner comedy show features Offenders Julie Goldman (NY), one-time local Betsy Salkind (LA), and our own Aundre the Wonderwoman (SF). The outrageous all-female comedy show is now being presented in both New York and LA every month, but we have them for a one-night only Bay Area exclusive! The shows celebrate uncensored, fearless female comedians saying whatever they damn well please. And they promise more than just stand-up!

JULIE GOLDMAN, fresh off her new solo show The Julie Goldman Offensive at the Culture Project, recently won LOGO's New Now Next "Brink of Fame: Comic" Award. She also co-stars on The Big Gay Sketch Show on LOGO. "What's so offensive about our show? You tell me! Offensive is in the eye of the beholder. What I'm trying to do is give funny women a forum to be as out there as they want to be, say what's really on their minds and do material that's hysterical but might be considered too edgy for regular comedy clubs." Offensive Women is also producing a series of web shorts and is planning a headliner tour in 2009.

BETSY SALKIND The Boston Globe says, “There are countless ways to make someone laugh, and Betsy Salkind knows most of them. Want sarcastic wit? Political humor? Or maybe just a good animal mime? Salkind can pull all that off and more.” Betsy Salkind was a writer for “Saturday Night Special” and “Roseanne,” wrote and starred in the critically-acclaimed “Anne Frank Superstar,” and has appeared as a stand-up on numerous TV shows including
“The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Best known for her squirrel impression,
she refuses to be pigeonholed as a rodent. In addition to touring, the LA
based comedian now writes for "Ethel's Law" (ethelspiliotes.blogspot.com).

AUNDRÉ the WONDERWOMAN -- has set her sights on political humor from the beginning. A clever and engaging satirist, she uses the stage as her bully pulpit, taking on everything from presidential politics to animal lovers.
She took first place at the 1999 Inaugural Russian River Resort Comedy Competition, was a semi-finalist in the 2005 San Francisco International Comedy Competition and is the recipient of the 2008 Stand Up For Justice Award from Death Penalty Focus, a California-based national group, for her work against the death penalty. She a comedy voice not to be missed, especially during this historic political election season.
