“Funny Gals” Comedy Show to Benefit Women’s Historical Center

Lansing, MI —A gaggle of giggle-inducing female comedians will descend upon the Cadillac Club on Saturday, April 26 in a special show to benefit the Michigan Women’s Historical Center—the state’s only museum dedicated to preserving and presenting women’s history. The benefit performance will begin at 7:30 p.m.; the club is located at 1115 S. Washington Avenue in Lansing’s REO Town neighborhood.

Headlining the show will be Lansing’s own Toni Imhoff, recently named “funniest female comic” at the 2008 Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Also scheduled to perform are Lansing City Councilwoman Kathie Dunbar, Shelly Smith, M.J. Pope, and Brenda Nelson as well as five members of metro Detroit’s Womyn’s Komedy Netwerk: Erica Lynn, Julie Lyons, Kris McLonis, Terrye Summers, and Stephanie Hillier.

Tickets are $20 each and may be purchased at the door the night of the event or before the event through the Michigan Women’s Historical Center. All proceeds will go to the operating fund of the historical center.

The Michigan Women’s Historical Center was established in 1987 by the Michigan Women’s Studies Association, which seeks to improve what is taught and thought about Michigan women in history. Inside the Historical Center are changing galleries highlighting women’s history and art as well as the Michigan Women’s Hall of Fame, commemorating more than 200 Michigan women past and present. Operating hours are from noon to 5:00 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, noon to 4:00 p.m. Saturday, and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sunday. Photographs, biographical sketches, and lesson plans relating to the Hall of Fame honorees may also be viewed online at http://hall.michiganwomenshalloffame.org.
