Laughing Matters
After 20 years underground, audiences everywhere are now discovering these hilarious lesbian comics! Kate Clinton, Karen Williams, Marga Gomez and Suzanne Westenhoefer pioneered lesbian stand-up comedy. In small clubs in the 1980s and early 90's, they challenged and charmed audiences while making us laugh about discrimination and the realities of being lesbian or gay in ways few would dare.

"Laughing Matters" alternates between interviews with the four comedians and their live stand-up performances.

Filmmaker Laurie Schenden will be here from California to introduce the movie and answer questions afterwards.

"..she has one of the sweetest, purest voices in contemporary music. None of that would matter is she weren't so mindblowingly good at what she does: writing and singing songs that move you with their honesty and passion."
