Saturday, Aug 10 at 7 p.m. — SOUTH POMFRET — The Grange Theatre, 65 Stage Rd, South Pomfret hosts ‘Funny.Females,’ a night of standup comedy featuring some of the country’s funniest and edgiest female comics: Vicki Ferentinos, Sharon Spell, Meredith Gordon, and Maddie Cross. For one night only, the three comedians will take to the stage.
Vicki Ferentinos is a comedian, chef, writer, and storyteller. She moved to Vermont almost seven years ago and owned a cafe in Woodstock. Since selling her cafe, she has been writing, performing, and trying to spread joy wherever she is able. She has been a top three finalist in Vermont’s funniest competition, and took first in the Vermont Comedy Festival One Minute Comedy Battle. Her first one-woman show “LadyBug Warrior” earned her great reviews at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She’s been on Comedy Central, Bravo TV, The Food Network, WOR, and performs throughout New England.
Sharon Spell is a writer, storyteller, and comedian living in New York City. Notable credits include Breakout Artist at Carolines and Moth StorySLAM winner. She’s appeared on truTV’s “Adam Ruins Everything,” MTV’s “Decoded,” and on stage in various productions with the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre NY. Among her writing accolades are Best Comedy Short Screenplay Winner in the Austin After Dark Film Festival, and she placed as a finalist in the Vail Film Festival. Originally from Mississippi, Sharon hasn’t totally lost her accent (or her mind). She genuinely loves connecting with people through the arts and is excited to perform at Artistree Community Arts Center.
Meredith Gordon has been voted Vermont’s Best Comedian and continually comes in Top 5 for the Vermont’s Funniest Comedian. She has recently launched a new YouTube show called, “The Wrong Side of the Hedge”.
Maddie Cross is an up-and-coming comedian whose life in literature has contributed to her quick wit and high brow delivery. She was a finalist in the Vermont’s Funniest competitions and frequently performs throughout Burlington and has a monthly show at The Phoenix in Waterbury.
