Join The Boston Comedy Festival at the Preliminary round of a nationwide stand-up competition. Fourty-eight, bright-eyed comics from all over the country compete for $10,000 dollars in prize money. When it's over, there will be one comic standing with a nice little bag of money and a ton of bragging rights.
Hosted By: Jody Sloane
For the past fifteen years, Jody has honed her skills as a “sit down” comic working as a “Conductour” for Boston Duck Tours. She created and developed her tour guide persona; Penny Wise, a tongue-in-cheek, saucy, southern belle. She has performed before an audience over 4000 times and still packs a fresh punch!
Six years ago Jody took a “stand” bringing her act to venues throughout New England. She has been a three-time contestant in the Boston Comedy Festival, performed in the Laugh Your Asheville Off Festival and was a Finalist in the Funniest Comic in New Hampshire Contest. Impishly perverse, her style is thoughtful, yet edgy; touching on age, divorce, and being raised by wolves. She'll have you convinced that in the darkest corners of truth is a comedy.
