NAME OUR ALL-WOMEN COMEDIC ROOTS TRIO!

Image
Big news, folks. I am making the colossal yet inevitable move from comedic folk to comedic roots. Yep, it's a big move, but one I think I'm ready for. Chelsea Manders and I are starting a comedic roots trio which will parody groups like "The Dixie Chicks", "The Good Lovelies", "The Wailing Jennies" and "The Be Good Tanyas", and we're looking for a name. Can you help? Our current front-runner is "The Do Good Fannies", but we think someone out there will have an even better idea. Please leave a comment here with your suggestion. A prize will be awarded to the winner! Thanks so much! Alison

What I Love About Calgary Fringe.

1. Our large audiences, even on opening night when nobody knew anything about us; 2. The musty-smelling church basement where we all gather for cabaret nights and $3 beer; 3. Club Paradiso, our awesome venue that sometimes feeds us tacos; 4. Karaoke at the Shamrock Hotel with the other artists, especially when we end the night with a group sing-a-long of Don't Stop Believin' ; 5. Our fabulous billeters who make us salmon and lend us their Acura; 6. The brilliant shows we've seen while here, including Oneymoon , Spitting in the Face of the Devil, Houdini's Last Escape, Slut Revolution and When Harry Met Harry. 7. Trips to Banff and Drumheller on our three consecutive days off. I am having a blast, and would love to stay longer, if I didn't miss this guy so much:
