LAUGHING MATTERS ... MORE!

Not Rated

Vicki Shaw, Sabrina Matthews, Elvira Kurt, Renee Hicks - Laughing Matters... More!

Sabrina Matthews - Laughing Matters... More!

Elvira Kurt, Vicki Shaw - Laughing Matters... More!

In 2004, Laughing Matters highlighted the work of pioneering lesbian comics Karen Williams, Marga Gómez, Suzanne Westenhoefer and Kate Clinton. This follows that successful dvd with a celebration of four popular comics who have been featured on Comedy Central, Logo and elsewhere on television and dvd.

Vicki Shaw shatters stereotypes and talks about growing up Southern Baptist in Texas, marrying and having children, in addition to the jokes about her partner Sergeant Patch. Renee Hicks (Out on the Edge, Coming Out Party) is the African-American daughter of a Pentecostal preacher from Louisiana and uses comedy to make people think as well as laugh.

Sabrina Matthews (Coming Out Party, Outlaugh!, Bam Bam and Celeste) is a master of making fun of butch lesbian stereotypes and is a regular in front of straight audiences as well. Elvira Kurt (Out on the Edge, We're Funny That Way), a one time Canadian comic of the year, is a riot talking about her mother, who is from Hungary.

Pieces of their stand up acts are intertwined with documentary style interviews with each individually and together talking about their childhoods, coming out, and life as lesbian comedians. Vicki Shaw in particular is very touching as she talks about being threatened with losing God because of her sexuality.

Great fun and an insight into what makes these four women tick.
