The new series, which kicked off last weekend with Wendy Williams, brings regular stand-up comedy performances to The Sands Showroom with an opening slate of 14 critically acclaimed comediennes. Joy Behar, Jennifer Coolidge, Susie Essman, Lisa Lampanelli, Caroline Rhea, Rita Rudner, Loni Love, and Wendy Liebman all have upcoming performances. Heather McDonald and Iliza Schleshinger are performing this weekend.
