WHAT IS THIS SHOW ABOUT?
The Sheroes of Comedy is a nationally touring quartet of African-American women who are in no way stereotypical. At a time when the nation’s first lady is “a sistah,” it’s time for the country to see another slice of black female life- a positive one
Sheroes are a “new breed” of black female comedy. They are not yelling, rapping, obliterating the English language, falling on the floor, or being vulgar. They stand flat-footed in front of a microphone and make audiences roar.
WHO ARE THE SHEROES:
The Sheroes are Alycia Cooper, Tracey Ashley, Leighann Lord and Retta four headlining comediennes, who have all made names for themselves for more than a decade as individuals. You have seen them on Comedy Central NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, Comics Unleashed, TVLAND HBO Def Comedy All Star Jam, and ABC’s The View, to name a few. They also work colleges and clubs across the country and abroad. The tone of the show is sexy, sassy, smart, and insightful, and the chemistry between the girls is undeniable.
WHO ALREADY ENJOYS THIS SHOW?
Women love it because the show uplifts the gender and gives audiences a “feel good” experience. Men love it because they are pleasantly surprised to find women who make them laugh just as hard as the male comics. Gay men love it because inside of every gay male is a large black woman screaming to get out! Feminists love it because the girls aren’t selling sex. Octogenarians love it because they can understand every word. Tom Cruise loves it because no one in the show uses Paxil.
