Partners in love and laughter, Erin and Nara are pleased to announce that as far as they are concerned, it is SUMMER! And they are about to prove it! They have enlisted confirmation from XTACY LOVE; STEVIE PEA; and ERIN AND NARA (uh, of course).  They are also presenting ROOKIE TIME, giving a newbie comedian/performer a chance to show off their stuff at this show. (Send them a message or video of who you are, what makes you tick, what/who makes you laugh). Erin and Nara are best known for their original song “Sexy Cuz We’re Lesbians” and for being the over-the-top hilarious hosts of Shelley Marshall’s Full Bawdy Comedy Show. They are unbelievably creative, hysterically funny, and just generally not-to-be-missed!
