C’mon. We all know that seasoned women are vital, whip-sharp, and very, very funny. But just in case, we’re gonna prove it with our kick-ass program.
Funny Over Fifty™ showcases the most hilarious women and non-binary folk who happen to be over the age of 50. It’s a warm and welcoming space for all genders and generations. A mix of story, song and surprising performances tempered with a dash of wisdom, our show will lift your spirits and make you smile.
Our delightful host, Janice Maffei!
