The best part of editing the Funny Women column is developing e-mail relationships with various women. (Did I say various? I meant you. Only you.)
Sabrina Veroczi of Booby Hatch* is my new jam. Booby Hatch is an all-female sketch comedy group that recently performed their 3-woman, 1-man show, “Cone of Silence,” at the Upright Citizen Brigade’s Theatre in NYC. Sabrina tells me they are working on a TV pilot “about three funny women who do at least three funny things each.” She says, “It’s the lady version of Kids in the Hall or Monty Python or Human Giant or Mr. Show or Michael & Michael Have Issues.”
They’ve just launched their newest video “The Audition,” a sketch about a man auditioning to be in their group. There are two parts. The first part features genius lines such as:
“It’s not your fault, Katharine, men just aren’t funny.”
“Sure they are; they just haven’t been given the same opportunities as women.”
“Name one funny man.”
“Bea Arthur.”
“Incorrect! Bea Arthur is a woman!”
“Really?”
“Technically. Come on. What is with this equal opportunity bullshit. What is this, Cocks ‘R Us? What is this, COCKtail? Who are you Tom Cruise? What is this, Brokeback Mountain? Who are you, the horse watching us do it?”
Please watch their music video “Suck It,” where you will hear this: “I thought you might get lost, so I drew you a map. Here is your head, and here is my lap.” Actual map included in video.
*”The Booby Hatch is a new and exciting experience for married couples.”
