About
Formed in late 2000 this covey of dynamic damsels unleashes an all-out assault of sketch comedy that has garnered critical acclaim. Countless standing ovations and consistently sold-out houses affirm the success of this coterie’s distinctive take on the world. Although breaking ground for women in comedy makes us natural feminists don’t expect stereotypical male bashing; Tomboys in Fishnets is a tightly-tuned machine that takes equal opportunity jabs at men, women, and everything in between. Tight writing, topnotch comic acting and a “no-holds- barred†slant sets Tomboys in Fishnets apart as they continue to provide a rare home for female comedic actors.
Tomboys in Fishnets signature style goes beyond their unique cross-dressing-character mark. It offers a finely-tuned balance of gutter-level low-brow, and Rhodes scholar high-brow, “take-no-prisonersâ€, humor with a lightning pace (nearly 20 sketches in under an hour), all wrapped up in theme-based productions that close with a sexy strip number. Since 2001 Tomboys in Fishnets have captured the hollers and hoots of Hollywood hipsters, the bellows of their seasoned elders, and the reluctant chortles of their more jaded “make me laugh†neighbors.
