This April, Alwun House proudly presents Femocracy: a subversive monthly comedy show featuring a diverse array of brainy, comedic insurrectionalists. Among the Femocracy brain trust are artists, comedians & producers of award-winning Valley underground comedy and music shows such as Modest Proposal, The Shizz, Muff Mondays, and The Remember Abraham Lincoln Comedy Show.
Acts include live and video sketches, stand up, improv, music, parody, dance, burlesque, live game shows and even hand-made giveaways from local arts community stalwarts. In the romantic, majestic gardens of the Alwun House, under the stars, Femocracy pleasantly thrusts upon Phoenix a modernized form of Vaudeville - our version offers less sausage, but mostly less sexism.
April’s lineup includes:
