ALL LADIES AT THE MIC – HUDCO, FRIDAY THE 13TH IN OCTOBER

It’s Friday the 13th and we’re getting witchy for Some Place Like Home: All-Female Comedy Night to Benefit My Sisters’ Place in Westchester, NY.

Local public nuisance and comedian Jessie Murphy brings you a night of all female comedians to benefit My Sisters’ Place. You are welcome to bring your menfolk. They will laff and enjoy the snacks while we reverse engineer the matriarchy. No big deal.

My Sisters’ Place strives to end domestic violence and human trafficking through comprehensive victim services, advocacy, and community education. As a community-based nonprofit serving Westchester County, NY, and the surrounding region, MSP’s mission is to create a world in which every individual has the basic human right to be free from gender-based violence and to engage in relationships that embrace the principles of respect, equality, and safety.

The lineup:

Jessie Murphy sounds a little like Marge Simpson, looks a lot like Rachel Maddow’s first cousin, and delivers a punch line like the Kool Aid Guy—impactful and with lots of debris. The jaded real estate agent in her would say that figures, but the successful real estate agent in her would point out that, “It really opens up the room.” Jessie co-hosts the Side Hustle comedy open night at Divino’s in Hastings-on-Hudson and just played to a sold-out audience at The Good Witch also in HOH. She is local AF. Ol’ J. Murph is on The AZ Team NY at Compass and can definitely help you sell your house in case you were wondering about that.

Cyndy Cecil gave a speech at a conference with the hopes to move people…make them feel something…to cry. They ended up laughing their butts off. So… she did a standup open mic in a bathrobe and it completely bombed. Undeterred, she took comedy classes. She got on stage, once with a rat crossing a pipe overhead. She turned chaos in comedy and cussed the entire time. Cyndy grabs every mic she can in New York City and has performed on the stages of Broadway Comedy Club, West Side Comedy Club, St. Mark’s Comedy Club, Stand Up NY and The Improv in DC.

Katie Reidy, born and raised in Brentwood, NY now a Westchester resident, is a multi-disciplinary artist and muralist. She owns and instructs creative art classes as well as owns a creative based after-school child care. She paints public and private murals and has shown her works in galleries across the state as well as worked internationally to bring art and inspiration to impoverished communities to help better their schools and lives. She has a passion for music and writing as well as skateboarding. Her wife, her daughter and her many loving students drive her to continue finding new ways to share her creativity and ideas in the hopes of inspiring the next generation of free thinkers to believe in love, peace, creation and our power in all of that.

Sheria Mattis is a Brooklyn-born and bred comedian, writer, actress, and awkward Black girl. She has written for Reductress, Netflix is a Joke, Leslie Jones, Fran Drescher, and Abby Terkuhle.
