DESCRIPTION:DOORS: 6:00PM     SHOW: 7:30     AGES: 18+\n\n\n \nCarole Montgomery, Leighann Lord & Julia Scotti\n\n \n“If I had to choose between ageism or sexism, I’d take a pat on the ass any day, since that meant someone noticed me.”\n~Carole Montgomery – Creator of Funny Women of A Certain Age\n \nFrom the hit Showtime series:\nFunny Women of a Certain Age was Showtime’s highest rated comedy special of 2019 and made television history as the first special to feature 6 female comics over the age of 50.\nIt also has an inspirational message to audience members who get to see women, when reaching “ a certain age”, show that they are NOT slowing down.\n \nWhat began as a fun way to work with her friends has exploded into a comedy brand of its own. When Carole Montgomery (a stand up comedy veteran of over 40 years) started in the business, you would never see two female comics on the same show. Fast forward to today’s comedy scene and nothing has changed, even though there are way more women in comedy.\n \nWOACA was created to give older women comics a chance to be seen and be heard. Frustrated by how women are portrayed in show business once they hit the age of 50, Carole decided to do something about it. It was only a few years ago that she had the idea to create a show that would travel to different cities and showcase a rotating cast of older female comedians. In no time at all, Carole’s idea become a Showtime special that made history and broke ratings records. It was Showtime’s highest rated premiere of a stand up show in 2019! Two more specials followed and a national tour is now being planned.\n \nThe women who appear in WOACA are all brilliant, funny, and vibrant – and it just so happens that they are all of a certain age. These are the women who paved the way – blazed the trail – for the female comedians you see performing today.\n \n– CAROLE MONTGOMERY –\n\n\nWith over 2 dozen television credits to her name, CAROLE MONTGOMERY is a respected veteran of the standup comedy scene nationwide. In addition to her numerous television appearances, Carole has headlined clubs & colleges across the USA and starred in 2 different Las Vegas production shows. In her ten years as a LAS VEGAS STAR, it is estimated that she has been seen by over 5 million audience members.\n \nCarole created the live comedy show FUNNY WOMEN OF A CERTAIN AGE featuring female headliners over the age of 50 in 2017. The show was such a success that it was filmed for the Showtime network. \n \nIt was the network’s highest rated comedy special for 2019 and it made TV history as the first comedy special to feature 6 women over the age of 50. \n \nThe following year MORE Funny Women Of A Certain Age premiered with huge viewership. EVEN MORE Funny Women Of A Certain Age premiered Thanksgiving Eve 2021.\n \nCarole is also an accomplished director & producer. She directed Jim Florentine’s solo show I’m Your Savior currently airing on Amazon Prime. She is currently developing a new solo show with activist and comedian Kaytlin Bailey called Whore’s Eye View. \n \nCarole is proudest of her 11 comedy tours for Armed Forces Entertainment.
