The Belladonna Variety Hour (and a Half)

What are you doing this Saturday at 8 p.m.? The Belladonna—a new comedy and satire site by women, for everyone—is going analog at the PIT Loft in NYC with standup, sketches, and readings.

Hosted by Funny Women Editor Elissa Bassist, the show’s lineup includes The Belladona’s co-founders: Caitlin Kunkel, Brooke Preston, Fiona Taylor, and Carrie Wittmer. You’ll also catch Belladonna contributors and performers Kelly Dickinson, Emmy Potter, Rosanna Stevens, and Amanda Henning. Writers will read and perform original work, editors will sass you if you’re lucky, and Elissa will tell you she loves you and try to mean it.

Again: this Saturday, July 1, 8 p.m. Buy tickets now for yourself and a feminist friend! (Take this feminism quiz if you’re questioning.)
