Next week my friend Jen, who is one of the few people I have kept up with since the glory days of high school, will be performing two comedy shows in D.C. Since her twelfth-grade days as a twinset-clad debate champion, she has fashioned a strange life for herself of modelling, dressing up as Wonder Woman, referreeing adult spelling bees, and performing standup comedy.
Monday the 26th at 9 p.m., she will be performing at The Red & The Black, along with a couple of bands (Death by Sexy and Monstertail), as well as "art-star" Molly Crabapple, who is something of a figure on the NYC burlesque scene. There's an eight dollar cover, and free red beans and rice when you purchase two drinks. The Red & The Black is located at 1212 H Street NE.
On Wednesday the 28 at 7:30 p.m., Jen and Molly will have a comedy show at the DC Arts Center, located at 2438 18th Street NW in Adams Morgan. $10 cover goes to support hungry comedians and a fanastic local art space.
So come on out! See the past made future! And maybe some nice, funny girls dressed as superheroes!

On a slightly different note, the Cornell and Johns shows are still with us, at various outposts of the Smithsonian. I'm thinking of going this weekend, while it is still somewhat chill and cloudy, and the desire to stay outside all the time hasn't set in.
