OUR JUNE 22ND SHOW LINEUP

NANCY NORTON

Nancy is a comedian and professional speaker based in Boulder, Colorado.


Her shows are high energy, in the moment and hilarious to people from all walks of life.

Norton has an extensive and broad comedy background.  She started out in improvisational theater in the 80's and added standup and began touring the US as a standup comedian in 1991 and did several tours overseas entertaining the troops and has entertained on cruise ships around the globe.

Nancy has also used her comedy to raise awareness around human, animal and environmental causes in activist theater and videos for Voxfeminsta and Free Speech TV.  This is where she birthed many characters:  Lesbo the Clown, (a clown with only one skill, wiener-dog balloon animals) who you may have seen protesting animal cruelty at circuses and rodeos, Sri Garee Indiana-from Iowa, (a super silly and insightful prophet for profit) who by guiding us to our lower selves has a way of helping to connect with something greater within us all, and Batperson, (a gender neutral super hero) who protests KKK rallies with Anti-racist bat spray.

You may have seen her on various comedy specials doing standup and her one-woman show, "The Yellowish-Green Girl" aired on PBS and most recently Nancy was featured on Nickmom Night Out on Nickelodeon.

 ELLIOT WOOLSEY

   Elliot Woolsey is one of the biggest comedians around today. Seriously, the guy is like 6’5 and a barely healthy 260 pounds.

JAMES GOLD

James founded and organizes the Dairy Comedy Showcase in addition to co-organizing Boulder's monthly Amante Coffee comedy showcase. His background includes two years of writing and performing family-friendly musical theatre, which involved excessive displays of jazz hands.

He has performed at Comedy Works in Denver and various dungeons in California that are possibly closed by now.

JON WILKINS

And we're happy to announce that our emcee for the evening is NATHAN LUND!

MEDIA RESPONSE

Hello Dairy Comedy fans.

Just thought I'd take a moment to post links to a couple of articles written focusing on our comedy showcase recently.

And also, James Gold's spot on Denver's Comic Cents Radio.

First, there is Boulder's own newspaper, the Daily Camera.
A lovely little article written by the equally as lovely Aimee Heckel.

You can read it HERE.

The next bit of media coverage came from the Denver Westword, in an interview conducted by Josiah Hesse with the Dairy's own comedy show organizer, James Gold.

You can read the interview HERE.

And as for that Comic Cents radio thing, Jodee and Jesse were kind enough to let James on to plug the Dairy Comedy Showcase, and you can see that video HERE.

 Many thanks for your support, ladies and gents.

And remember:

THE SHOW IS THIS SATURDAY!

Tickets are selling well.

You can buy yours by visiting HERE.

Thanks again, and we'll see ya soon!

MEET THE COMEDIANS of the MAY 25th SHOW

Here's a bit about the comedians we have doing our second show on May 25th:

HIPPIEMAN

Hippieman, a native of Boulder, Colorado, has made two appearances on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (see one of the videos HERE)and has been a national touring act for twenty years or more (depending on your accounting methods).

 

 

HEATHER SNOW

 

Heather is a Denver based comedian by way of Ohio. Her jaded, and dry sarcastic style draws from her every day life and trials of her completely drama-free upbringing in suburbia hell. She's been seen on TV Guide Channel's Stand-Up in Stilettos (click HERE for the video), Boston Women in Comedy Festival, and two time winner of the Denver's Best of Westword.

 

STEVE VANDERPLOEG

 

Steve Vanderploeg, a native of suburban Denver, and a tantalizingly fresh voice of comedy describes his story about breaking out of a sheltered childhood to striving to understand the human experience. His wacky, wit-filled descriptions of spontaneity and consistency of being the odd-man-out drive his comedic style. Speaking on behalf of the Myspace generation, he builds a bridge between the reserved, the personable and himself. He has performed at many of Colorado’s best comedy shows including Comedy Works, Too Much Fun! and The East Coast.

 

 

JAMES GOLD

 

James founded, organizes and markets the Dairy Comedy Showcase in addition to co-organizing Boulder's Amante Comedy Shows. His background includes two years of writing and performing for family-friendly musical theatre, but his stand-up is a far cry from those days.

His material is absurd and chaotic, and is drawn from such inspirational places as working shitty jobs, failing at relationships, having sex and making sandwiches.

He has performed at Denver Comedy Works and various dungeons in California that are probably closed by now.

And of course, we're very excited

to say that our Emcee for this show

is none other than:

 

SAM TALLENT

Sam Tallent is comedian from Denver, Colorado. The Denver Post called Sam “the surreal voice of an absurd generation” and the Denver Westword said that he had “the best comedy moment in Denver in all of 2012”. “An alt-comic road dog in the vein of Kinane and Stanhope” (SF’s courtingcomedy.com), Tallent has performed all over at places like the SF Punchline, the Creek and the Cave NYC, the Laughing Devil, the San Francisco Comedy and Burrito Festival and the New York Television Festival, as well as clubs and colleges across the Mid- and Southwest. He’s done lots of stuff with the Grawlix boys, debauched Bryan Cook’s Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction, crushed Kabin NYC and loves performing at the Business in SF. Sam is a founding member of the Fine Gentlemans Club, producers of the free weekly showcase “Too Much Fun!”, the Denver Post’s “best thing to do on any Wednesday night”. Brendon Walsh, Rory Scovel, Ron Funches, Chris Fairbanks, Kurt Braunholer, Adam Cayton-Holland and Dan Soder are all past guests. He is also the co-curator of Denver’s yearly Too Much Funstival! (“a must-see”-the Huffington Post), a four-day donation- based festival of comedy and music. Past events have included Ben Roy in a dunktank, a guided tour of the Denver Art Museum led by the Fine Gents, luchalibre wrestling opening for Sean Patton and TJ Miller performing in a bocci ball pit. Tallent put out three full-length digital downloads in 2012, recorded in 23 different states, and in March ’13 the Fine Gents are releasing a vinyl (recorded at the Denver Comedy Works, Sam’s home club) on Hot Congress Records. His interests include androgynous women and writing in the third person.

EMCEE ANNOUNCED

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are pleased to announce that Denver comic JORDAN DOLL has been added to the Dairy show in the 15th, as the Emcee.

Born in the mountains and lured to the city by bright lights and the smell of baked goods, Jordan Doll is a writer, actor and stand-up comedian from Denver, Colorado. He can usually be found cracking-wise up and down exotic Colfax Avenue or at Denver’s own Comedy Works where he was recently a finalist in the 2012 New Faces of Comedy contest. Jordan’s comedy is as hilarious as it is enlightening. You will laugh, you will slap knees, you will learn more about werewolves, robots and potential animal attacks than you ever hoped to know.
