Sick of going to open mics that are majority male? Then Femme Feedback is for you! Each month we bring in a new veteran (non-male) comic to give feedback to a new lineup of female (cis and trans) and non-binary comics who are trying out material that may not be appreciated by an all-dude audience. The show is free, ALL are welcome in the audience, but performance is limited to performers who are female and/or trans or non-binary. Produced by comedians Vivian Burgett and Mary Budd.Interested in signing up? Follow the Instagram page at @femmefeedback_chicagoland for instructions and details!
