Funny Ladies

Highly recommended, the tribute show "Getting in on the Ground Floor and Staying There" featuring the comedic talents of Beth Lisick and Tara Jepsen as Carole and Mitzi. I was little worried that it was being held at the Center for Sex & Culture, but all nudity fell under the category of extreme silliness. Not only were the stories hysterical, but at one point they both came out dressed in the outfits their mothers had given them. Genius, right?

I am thrilled to add Beth & Tara to my short list of favorite girl-comedy duos -- think "French & Saunders" or Laura Kightlinger and Nicholle Tom from "The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman" -- perhaps the "Heads Gone Astray" radio program? Does the tradition go back to Lucy & Ethel? Mary & Rhoda?

Please discuss, and include your own favorites of silly lady buddies out there.

Oh, to be in the same sentence as French & Saunders . . . I'm still giggling about the French & Saunders send-up of The Fellowship of the Ring!
