ABOUT OUR HOST JULIE NOVAK www.julienovak.com
JULIE NOVAK has been performing in around the New York Tri-State area for the last 15 years. Her comedy combines a keen look at the politics of queerness, gender variance, and everything in between.
Aside from co-founding and performing with The TMI Project, Ms. Novak is the official Emcee of the Broads Regional Arm Wrestling League in New York’s Hudson Valley (part of the national Collective of Lady Arm Wrestlers), where her improv skills have helped raise thousands of dollars for women’s causes. Look for her in the upcoming film CLAW: The Movie and as a blur in the feature film Peace, Love and Misunderstanding starring Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener. Listen to her band, Guitars and Hearts. She is also the co-author (with Jacinta Bunnell) of the feminist coloring book Girls are Not Chicks.
ABOUT OUR JUDGES DOG ON FLEAS: www.dogonfleas.com
HAILING FROM UPSTATE NY AND 10 YEARS IN THE MAKING… Dog on Fleas plans to take over the world. Their strategy is to play honest, loose and ingenious music for kids and their adult counterparts, and since kids tend to listen to music over and over and over, they are encoding special messages into the songs. Sort of like the Beatles, only less psychedelic. Actually, the only agenda the Fleas have is to make good music for decent people. And for you, too. DOG ON FLEAS are: DEAN JONES – guitar, trombone, singing. JOHN HUGHES – bass, guitar, singing. CHRIS CULLO – drums and cymbals.
SPECIAL GUEST JUDGE THE WONDERFUL, GLAMOROUS MOVIE STAR ZSA ZSA GALORE (a.k.a. Carrie Wykoff)
