Susan Alexander, MC was first. Then pint-sized Lilibeth Helson, joking about her height and cross cultural issues as part Japanese-Filipina-African American. She did some great impressions of her mom, too. Then tall, slim, very pale Caitlin Gill did a great low key self deprecating yet empowering routine. Then plus sized rosy white Millenial Chris Burns joked about being a recovering anorexic, who had done social work here and in Africa. Then Dhaya jumped onto the stage in her boys' dept. jeans and joked about being a pint sized egghead Indian American, and their image among US minority groups. I didn't realize Engelbert Humperdink was Indian; she asked us to imagine how embarassed to be Indian he had to be to hide out with that name. Then the brassy and totally fun Dana Lovecchio joked about a whole range of topics, including being Italian American. She did the longest set, as the one with the most experience, I think.

Susan Alexander put together a fabulous show of at the Purple Onion Friday Night. I saw the 8pm show. Hard to read the names of the comics on the teeny ticket. She really assembled a wonderfully diverse group -- great mix of styles ! I'll look them up and update this post.
