So it’s 2007 and some people are still debating whether women are funny. Well, DC’s only all-female, all-local comedy showcase plans to put that issue to bed, tuck it in, and sing it a final lullaby when “Broad-Minded Comedy” premieres on Wednesday, June 20 at Riot Act Comedy Club.

Diana Saez, Broad-Minded Comedy co-producer and featured performer, says the show was conceived with other local comics as a way to spotlight Washinton’s funniest women.

“D.C. has so many great comics, and recently there’s an impressive crop of females on the circuit…with comedy being a boys’ club in general…to paraphrase Virginia Woolf, we want Broad-Minded Comedy to be a place for local female comics to have a room of their own…the kind of room with cheap beer and delectable chicken wings,” Saez says. “Seriously, they’re really good…the point is, it’s about chicks with quips. And these quips don’t lie.”

Ha! She paraphrased Virginia Wolf!

More deets here. Hot lesbian action guaranteed!
