Oak Park Comedy Bash Promises Comedy Goodness

ShakAlicia, the comedic rap duo comprised of me and Shakir, will dish up the blended chickpea favorite with our first single, “Hummus Anxiety.”

Before the dance party wraps up the night, I’ll share something straight from the heart with you, audience members: songs about my high school crushes (obsessions), and a dramatic journal entry that I wrote after an Ani Difranco concert that revolutionized my life as a 15-year-old lesbian.

I hope to see you at Lido’s Caffee tomorrow evening for some comedy fun! Hey, it sure beats barbecuing with your mom, right?
