Comix + Hysterical = BFF

Thanks to everyone who came out last night to get their laugh on and support The Hysterical Festival’s Fundraiser at Comix. It was an amazingly tight show with a huge range of funny.

And, most importantly, Comix and Hysterical officially announced that we are BFF.

Comix is a natural partner for the festival. This is a stand-up comedy club primarily run by women. That is a huge anomaly in the comedy world. So it was only right that Comix and Hysterical teamed up. Festival founder Desiree Burch and Comix publicist Kambri Crews let the world know about our special love.

Just to recap. Last night we were treated to the varied comedy stylings of:

Rachel Feinstein (Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend”, Montreal Just for Laughs Festival)

Mel and El (New York Musical Theatre Festival Concert Series at Ars Nova)

Ophira Eisenberg (Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend”, US Weekly Fashion Police, VH1)

Bridget Everett (At Least It’s Pink at Ars Nova)

Heather Lawless (Be Kind Rewind, Variety SHAC, HBO’s Flight of the Conchords)

Adira Amram (Upright Citizens Brigade, Jane Magazine)

The whole night’s energy was masterfully carried by New York’s hostess with the mostest Carolyn Castiglia (VH1/MTV2)

You can see more pictures of last night on the lovely and talented Maryanne Ventrice’s Flickr page. Thanks, Maryanne!
