The Shalom Park 2025 Fundraiser & Appreciation Event
The Secret Comedy of Women® is a laugh-out-loud immersive theatrical triumph about the challenges of womanhood. The audience freely roars with laughter at everything that has ever held them back; from boys to bras and pantyhose to menopause. Come celebrate the joy of the journey from girlhood to womanhood. We all deserve a laugh! This is where to find it!
The Secret Comedy of Women® is a 45 minute comedy that features sketches and improvisation along with other comedic vignettes, all focusing on womanhood. The show was inspired by the two authors’ real-life childhood diaries and written around the themes of growing up, getting older and laughing at life. The Secret Comedy of Women is a variety show – there’s improv, sketch comedy, audience participation, multimedia elements, characters and non-fiction memoirs. Since its initial two-year run at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, more than a quarter of a million people have seen the show across North America.
