Too Good to be True

Cupcakes topped with not just vanilla babies but chocolate as well (or Latino babies, as the package read, apparently). Comix, NYC ~ 1/27/10

Jon Friedman cracking up the kids with"your mother" jokes. Comix, NYC ~ 1/27/10

Folks "show"ered (and roasted) me and baby-to-be with love last week at Comix for the first-ever comedy co-ed Baby SHOWer that people not only didn't whine about attending beforehand, but raved about for days afterward.

Produced by Jenn Wehrung, Julia Wright, and Brandy Barber.

Special guests included dear peeps Jenn Hyjack, Honi Harlow, Giulia Rozzi, Shawn Hollenbach, Jenny Rubin, Jon Friedman, Leah Dubie, Matt Sears, Katina Corrao and Adam Wade live via satellite (or pre-recorded video, if you want to get technical)! Oh, and there were tremendous cupcakes.

Pimpin' My Peeps

My pals Claudia Cogan, Lisa Kaplan, Shawn Hollenbach and Wendy Ho are taking their show on the road---this time to a place called New Jersey. Heard of it? Terrific! Oh, you live there? Even better, because these kids are hilarious. True. I get to see them all the time in NYC, so if you have to live in New Jersey, now they're coming to you. In New Jersey. You're welcome!

Select NYC comics head to Somerset, NJ's renowned gay cabaret and nightclub The Den. It's not just special because of the great lineup or the french restaurant next door, it's special because we're taking NJ Transit. 

Lineup: Lisa Kaplan (here! tv), Shawn Hollenbach (Logo), Wendy Ho (Showtime) and Claudia Cogan (around).
