THE QUEER QUEENS OF COMEDY AT WILEY’S COMEDY CLUB

Lets be honest, the week is never complete without some lesbian humor. Wiley’s Comedy Club in Dayton brings three of its best lesbian comediennes to the same stage for this hilarious show: Poppy Champlin, Shann Carr and Dana Austin. If you were to cross the sweet grooving persona of Ellen Degeneres with Denis Leary’s raunchy sarcasm, the result would be Poppy Champlin. Poppy’s stand up has been seen on VH-1, A&E, Oprah Winfrey and Joan Rivers to name a few. You won’t want to miss Shann Carr as she drives across America in her pink rhinestone encrusted RV, making gay and not-so gay-America laugh ... one RV park at a time. Cleveland Female Entertainer of the year (via Cleveland’s Black, Gay & Proud) Dana Austin also will be there stirring up trouble, telling it like it is and handing out laughs as she sees fit.

WHEN: Sept. 9-12

WHERE: Wiley’s Comedy Club 101 Pine St., Dayton

COST: Special show. No coupons accepted. Thursday, 8 p.m.: $10. Friday, 9 p.m.: $15. Saturday, 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.: $20. Sunday, 8 p.m.: $10
