Julie Goldman's Offensive Women, the all-headliner comedy show
features Offenders Julie Goldman (NY), one-time local Betsy Salkind
(LA), and our own Aundre the Wonderwoman (SF). The outrageous
all-female comedy show is now being presented in both New York and LA
every month, but we have them for a one-night only Bay Area exclusive!
The shows celebrate uncensored, fearless female comedians saying
whatever they damn well please. And they promise more than just
stand-up!

JULIE GOLDMAN, fresh off her new solo show The Julie Goldman Offensive
at the Culture Project, recently won LOGO's New Now Next "Brink of
Fame: Comic" Award. She also co-stars on The Big Gay Sketch Show on
LOGO. "What's so offensive about our show? You tell me! Offensive
is in the eye of the beholder. What I'm trying to do is give funny
women a forum to be as out there as they want to be, say what's really
on their minds and do material that's hysterical but might be
considered too edgy for regular comedy clubs." Offensive Women is
also producing a series of web shorts and is planning a headliner tour
in 2009.

BETSY SALKIND The Boston Globe says, "There are countless ways to
make someone laugh, and Betsy Salkind knows most of them. Want
sarcastic wit? Political humor? Or maybe just a good animal mime?
Salkind can pull all that off and more." Betsy Salkind was a writer
for "Saturday Night Special" and "Roseanne," wrote and starred in the
critically-acclaimed "Anne Frank Superstar," and has appeared as a
stand-up on numerous TV shows including "The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno." Best known for her squirrel impression, she refuses to be
pigeonholed as a rodent. In addition to touring, the LA based
comedian now writes for "Ethel's Law" (ethelspiliotes.blogspot.com).

AUNDRÉ the WONDERWOMAN -- has set her sights on political humor from
the beginning. A clever and engaging satirist, she uses the stage as
her bully pulpit, taking on everything from presidential politics to
animal lovers. She took first place at the 1999 Inaugural Russian
River Resort Comedy Competition, was a semi-finalist in the 2005 San
Francisco International Comedy Competition and is the recipient of the
2008 Stand Up For Justice Award from Death Penalty Focus, a
California-based national group, for her work against the death
penalty. She a comedy voice not to be missed, especially during this
historic political election season.
