Performance: Variety Shac: The Countesses of Comedy
"So why exactly should you care about Shonali Bhowmik, Heather Lawless, Chelsea Peretti, and Andrea Rosen? Well, for starters, their home movies are way funnier than yours. Filmed throughout New York City with friends from the local alt-comedy scene, the Shac's hilarious shorts can be seen either on the troupe's Web site or when they premiere them once a month in Brooklyn, at their increasingly popular variety show." So says Alternative Press magazine's comedy special issue.

Tickets at the door are $5 general public, free to Hollins faculty, staff, and students. No reservations.
