San Francisco must have made Santa’s nice list, because they are getting a special present this Boxing Day: another round of Janine + Emily’s Girl Talk! After a packed March kick-off show and a sold out August summer send-off, the show is back with a whole new line-up. San Francisco’s favorite funny ladies Emily Heller and Janine Brito are back by popular demand with Janine + Emily’s Girl Talk 3. To celebrate the end of forced holiday cheerfulness, they’re reprising their favorite comedy show at their favorite club with their favorite gender: dudettes.
“Janine & Emily’s Girl Talk 3” will bring together local legend Marga Gomez (HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime), Girl Talk veteran Chris Burns (Showtime), Oakland upstart Karinda Dobbins and local-girl-made-good in LA, Emily Maya Mills (NBC’s Parks & Rec, Conan, Ellen, and more!). Tickets are on sale now, so why not give the gift of Girl Talk?
