Vanity Fair recently devoted a cover to the current reigning queens of comedy, from Tina Fey to Sarah Silverman. Good for those gals, but we must point out that local comic Lisa Geduldig's annual Funny Girlz event beat VF to the punchline by ten years. Highlighting comediennes who draw inspiration from their various racial backgrounds, sexualities, religions, and nationalities, Funny Girlz continually refutes the notion that comedy is solely a boys' club. This Mother's Day edition benefits the Bay Area Women's and Children's Center. Performers include Jewish lesbian folk singer Phranc, former Pine-Sol spokesperson Diane Amos, and drag legend Matthew "Peggy Lee" Martin.
