"Dames Like Us" Hilarious Saturday Brunch Show in the Village!

Details

Hi, you Great Dame, you! We hope you can make one of the 5 performances - it's gonna be killah! It's a great cast and the show is really hilarious ... to read what audiences said when I performed it as a solo show and to read the casts bios ... you must check out www.dameslikeus.com!

Here's the deal, if we can fill the house every Saturday in April - there's a strong chance they'll EXTEND us another month ... or more! And the cool part, is the show is always fresh and different since I rotate the monologues and there are TWO casts - each with their own unique interpretations.

And you'll see from the reviews that MEN especially love the show, too! (I almost had to stop one show because a man up front was laughing so hard - I thought he was CHOKING!) So, feel free to bring a guy or three!

There are no reservations at this venue, tickets are at the door. It's first come/first serve situation and there are only 60 seats at cafe tables so I suggest you get there about 1/2 hour before the show.

It's $20 ($10 cover/$10 minimum) and you get a complimentary glass of champagne. Or for $15 more, you can feast on their fabulous Prix Fix Brunch Menu! (You can check out the venue here and look at their Brunch Menu) (http://www.francescarizzo.com/#!dames-performances/c1psv)

PRUDE WARNING: This is no "granny" show. It doesn't hold back - so there's a fair amount of colorful language.

LAUGH WARNING: Men, bring your defibrillators - Women, bring Depends.

Here are some of the earlier REVIEWS!

NEW YORK TIMES

Perfect Women's Night Out! This wonderful show is amazing. I went with 4 good friends and we can't wait to see her again. Don't miss it!

– Stephanie, NY

Laughed my head off -- This must of been what it was like when Judy Holiday performed at the Village Vanguard and later Lily Tomlin at the Blue Angel. Bravo ! It wigged me out.

Alex Adams, Princeton, NJ

Funny from beginning to end showcasing laugh until your sides hurt dialogue. This show is a winner, go and enjoy it.

– Cheryl Restaino,, Pequannock, NJ

Laughter and insights - you don't just see them, you feel them. Francesca becomes her wonderful ensemble of characters with such comfort and warmth that, no matter how outrageous their edge or OMG moments you encounter.....you really like them because deep down Francesca likes them, too.

It is truly laugh out loud funny -- usually for its cleverness, surprise and insight, but never the result of cheap vulgarity. There are any number of times when the women laugh a lot louder than we men do .... which reminds us that great humor has a foundation of great truths.

This is not stand-up..... this is good writing and any of these characters could have stepped out of a play or novel. Rizzo seems as much in command of fine character driven writing as she is in portraying the characters themselves.

– Leonard Steinbach, New York, NY

A wonderfully fun peek into the lives of women, I loved this rare chance to be a 'fly on the wall. Ms. Rizzo truly pays tribute to them, and she treats them - for all their quirkiness - with respect and love. The result is both comical and heartwarming: a funny comedy aimed at our adult sensibilities.

– MJ Mangan, Ocean Grove, NJ

Laughing till it hurts. I saw this hilarious show twice! Ms. Rizzo’s characters are memorable and owned the sold-out crowd. The woman next to me laughed so hard she dumped a glass of red wine on my pants. Usually, when I leave a good show one or two characters bounce around my mind. After this show several characters stayed in my head leaving me laughing out of context for the next week. Don’t miss this show.

– Thomas R. Pryor, New York, NY

Dynamite fun for those of us at "a certain age" and beyond! Kudos to Ms Rizzo for a superb performance."

– Carol Yeager, New York, NY

This is definitely a FIVE STAR EXCELLENT show ... go! enjoy! laugh!

– Hillary Rollins, New York, NY and Santa Monica, CA

NEW JERSEY ARTHOUSE - Meetup

Lots of fun watching Francesca move from character to character. Witty monologues! Packed house!

– Marsha, NJ Arthouse

It was funny and brilliantly written!

– Beth Cifone, NJ Arthouse

She was excellent, and had the audience in stitches in recognition of the characters she played, and even the men laughed! I'd be willing to see the show again if at all possible.

– Cristina, NJ Arthouse

I had a great time...I laughed the whole night!
