Sticks & Stones Comedy Presents: Vanessa Hollingshead
Saturday, May 16th, 8PM
Sticks & Stones Comedy Club 25 Pond Lane, Southampton
Vanessa Hollingshead is one of the most brilliant, raw and legendary comics you’ll ever see. She’s headlined all over the world and is touted as among the ‘Funniest Women Alive.’ You may know Vanessa Hollingshead from her episode on Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast, from her own specials on Comedy Central and Drybar, or from the groundbreaking Showtime Special, Funny Women of a Certain Age, hosted by Fran Drescher. The second she hits the stage, it’s clear Vanessa instinctively knows how to connect with an audience. She’ll talk to them, joke with them, sing to them, or do an array of characters right off the cuff. That lovable kinetic energy and “need” to entertain is partly how she grew up, as the daughter of two hippy parents. Her Dad was closer to Timothy Leary than he was to her. Long story short – she is a natural-born comic and storyteller.
Michele Fox is the feature act. Always a crowd-pleaser, Michele has opened for Kevin James, Robert Klein, Shane Gillis, Andrew Dice Clay, Jessica Kirson and Jay Mohr among many other amazing comedians.
