"laugh so hard you’ll split your panties"
So with a tagline like this, Suze, Heather and I headed out for dinner at Shanghai (again) lastnight. Without a camera (again), despite China Doll having personally brought Suze her cake last week. Chicks and Giggles? Well, five different comedians, each with different acts.

Trailblazers Ladyfest Ottawa present their first ever comedy night “Chicks and Giggles” featuring the talents of Rebecca Kohler, bringing the laughs from the Big Smoke, and locals Kamal Pandya, Wendi Reed and Carrie Gaetz. The fun takes place Friday, September 15, 2006, 9 p.m. at Shanghai Restaurant with the fabulous China Doll as mistress of ceremonies.
Comedy, like many art forms, tends to be a male-dominated field...but chicks dig it too! Ladyfest Ottawa continues to make feminism fun by breaking down barriers for women artists. We’re bringing together four funny comedians, who just happen to be female, for an evening of fun to put an end to the debate and to bring on the laughs.
Rebecca Kohler (Toronto)– Born the daughter of a Canadian Diplomat, Rebecca Kohler has lived in many places. From Brazil to Thailand, Rebecca learned that the one thing that tied people together was their love of laughter -- and pointing at her. After moving to Montreal she took the stage for the first time and was met with great success. The laughter remained, but the pointing stopped. Her credits include: the Just For Laughs Homegrown Competition, The Broad Appeal Show, The Young Guns of Stand Up Comedy, and The New Voices of Comedy. Rebecca takes her experiences of different lands and her own skewed point of view to create a hilarious show that’s not to be missed.
Kamal Pandya (Ottawa)– Kamal Pandya is a proud lifeguard and swim coach for the City of Ottawa. She's performed stand-up comedy around town and appears regularly at Yuk Yuk's comedy cabaret. She's from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and that's why she's so funny.
Wendi Reed (Ottawa)– Wendi's a veteran of the Women of Comedy show, and is a gifted comedienne/comedian? (Oh, shit, what's non-gender specific proper usage these days?) on the rise and a good friend of Ottawa comics and comedy. She is a close personal friend of Tracey MacDonald, and many others, but not Tom Green.
Carrie Gaetz (Ottawa) – Carrie was destined to be a comedienne—and that becomes very clear the moment she steps on stage. A style not lacking in confidence, Carrie spins her tales of everyday life into the comedic fabric that surrounds you with laughter. A matter-of-fact approach, whipped up along with a side order of take-no-prisoners—Carrie does not disappoint.
