Featuring!!

Sia Amma is out of Africa. She is a stand-up comedian, writer, dancer, and actress who is best known as Africa's most outrageous, hysterical, and inspiring comedienne. She is well known for making fun of African and American cultures, relationships, life experiences, sexuality and, of course, herself. She has given presentations that combine humor and celebration that are refreshing, honest, and very informative about the issue of female circumcision, and she has drawn great reviews at major colleges, universities, and around the country. Sia Amma performs her stand-up comedy material three times a week at Our Little Comedy Club in San Francisco. Her newest presentation for mothers and daughters is called "What Mama Said About 'Down There'."

Kristina Wong is a nationally presented solo performer, writer, actor, educator, culture jammer, and filmmaker. Described by the East Bay Express as "brutal but hilarious... a woman who takes life's absurdities very seriously," her body of performance work includes short and full-length solo performance works, outrageous street theater stunts and pranks, subversive internet installations, and plays and sketch comedy. She was awarded the Creative Capital Award in Theater and a Creation Fund from the National Performance Network to create her third full-length solo show, "Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" exploring the remarkably high incidence of suicide among Asian American women in a world that's more nuts than we are. She is a freelance contributor to anthologies and magazines like Playgirl Magazine.
