On Tour - Video Diary (Updated October 6th)
Welcome to the Dykes of Hazard Comedy Tour website.
What happens when you throw a microphone, a few lesbians with opinions, and a nun that spits fire into a beat up conversion van?
THE DYKES OF HAZARD COMEDY TOUR That’s what.
It has been nearly three years since a tiny thought in comedian Kristen Becker’s mind found itself on the highway with a van full of lesbians and a whole lot of opinions. THE DYKES OF HAZARD COMEDY TOUR has now successfully honed the art of daredevil ‘in your face, no apologies given,’ comedy by performing for the sultry Southerners at New Orleans House of Blues to warming up dykes and dyke lovers (a.k.a. femmes) in wintry white Montreal (and p.s. - every sexy dyke bar in between). This fall DOH will again be hitting the road to bring their comedy across the country, so watch out cause The Dykes are coming. . .to perform.
THE DYKES OF HAZARD COMEDY TOUR has attracted straight and gay fans that are in search of the type of comedy that transcends “made for T.V.” jokes and cookie cutter performances – intelligent and sometimes raucous comedy that results in audience members laughing, looking left and right with a “Did she really say that?” expression and even an occasional “Amen.” For the ’09 Tour, Becker has scoured the country looking for comedians who live up to the DOH brazen and bold reputation audiences have come to love. This year’s roster is packed full of the best and brightest lesbian comedians and will include the “daredevil” herself, Kristen Becker, who has drawn the attention of national acts such as Doug Stanhope and Josh Blue. She recently opened for Ani DiFranco in Buffalo and New Orleans, was named one of Curve Magazine’s “America’s Funniest Lesbians,” and hosts “Doin’ Time,” the longest running open mic for comedy in Western New York.
DOH kicks off the 2009 Tour in Texas on September 26 and ends in a certain evening of debauchery at the renowned Rubyfruit Jungle in New Orleans. There are a limited number of dates still available to bring the ruckus to your town!
