A contest tour made up of the funniest women in comedy today has launched careers of countless women. Comedian and mom Jane Condon lives in Greenwich, Connecticut where she is bringing up two sons. According to Jane, because she is from a blue-collar town in Massachusetts, she likes to make fun of Greenwich and tell stories about her adventures with her boys (mostly survival tales). Jane Condon was named one of 10 Comedy Best Bets in Back Stage’s?annual comedy issue (2001). She has appeared on ABC’s The View, Lifetime’s Girls’ Night Out and FOX's series finale of 24. She won the Ladies of Laughter Contest in 2004.?Jane earned the title of Audience Favorite (NY) on NBC's Last Comic Standing.
The New York Times raves: “Condon had the audience cackling, guffawing and in hysterics as she sliced through marriage, divorce, husbands, kids, politics and other topics.”
A “funny & fabulous” Lady of Laughter, Leighann Lord is critically-acclaimed as smart, sexy, savvy, and funny with her “heads up humor”. Inspired by the brilliance of George Carlin, the smooth jazz style of Franklyn Ajaye and the elegance of Rita Rudner, Leighann has crafted her own unique brand of Thinking Cap Comedy. She received the NYC Black Comedy Award for “The Most Thought Provoking Black Female Comic”. Leighann has performed in London on BBC’s Blouse and Skirt (think Politically Incorrect meets BET). In The Netherlands, she was a guest on the popular late night talk shows Raymann is Late! and The Comedy Factory. She also entertained U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia during Operation Enduring Freedom. As a comedic commentator, Leighann has pulled pundit duty on VH1, Fox News, and MSNBC giving her informed and funny take on politics, world news and current events. Her popular weekly humor blog, the Urban Erma, is featured on StageTimeMag.com and as a free podcast on iTunes.
