Cameron Esposito is not into Plushies even though she spent four years as her high school mascot in a red wing costume.
She even dated the captain of her high school football team and this got us so excited we just had to look him on Facebook. He was hot and it’s lucky for the ladies though that Cameron came out as a lesbian comedian.
Cameron Esposito started her comedy career as a cast member at the ImprovBoston and Improv Asylum theaters in Massachusetts. She returned home to Chicago and is currently a cast member at the Lincoln Lodge, Chicago’s premier standup and variety showcase. Cameron was even nominated for Best Female Comic 2007 by the Chicago Comedy Awards and recently won Chicago’s Last Snob Standing competition which earns her a spot in the 2009 Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival.

Cameron shares with us her passion for comedy and believe it or not, she was a theology student in college. In this modern age this just about as close you can get to being a nun, although it seems she decided to turn in her habit for fez.
Finally! The Feast of Fools has made it into the Library of Congress.
Scott Sherman’s new book, First You Fall: A Kevin Connor Mystery, portrays his main character as a fan of the Feast of Fools podcast. We met Scott at the new Media Expo last year and he’ll be coming on the show soon to talk about his first book which is murder mystery where a hustler becomes a detective to find his best friend’s killer.
Usher explains why he thinks there are so many women coming out of the closet as lesbians. His reason? Starvation. It seems that there is such a lack of available men that women, in desperation, have started to turn to each other for sexual fulfillment. So, Usher thinks it’s like men in prison who seek out sex with men because there are no women around.
Will black plastic balls save the environment? Maybe not all the environment but they hope that it will be enough to shade the LA reservoir. The water needs to be protected by shade because if exposed to large amounts of sunlight, the bromate and chlorine in the water could cause a chemical reaction and lead to high levels can cause cancer. But what do you think? Somehow we get the feeling that adding more carcinogenic products to that chemical soup can’t be good.
The podcast that just may save your life- Feast of Fools.

Ripley kept saying “Mercury is in retrograde” when she walked in the door. It seemed everything was in chaos, but what she really meant to say was that recently she felt very introspective.
No wonder, we taped this show on Father’s Day and about a year ago I lost my father. It turned out Ripley’s and […]

Ah happy memories. It was such a blast to ride up to Milwaukee with Tracy Tyler to perform at the Pridefest Milwaukee celebration, an event that started out with a torrential downpour and ended with fireworks in Tracy’s jaw dropping number.
An hour after arriving to our hotel, I called Tracy to see when she wanted […]

Diva! Diva! Diva! Kennidi Monroe just put out her very first single and it has a catchy riff. What is it? Voluptuous Diva. It’s the word “diva” over and over and over again.
The song seems like a Saturday Night Live sketch in extremis, and we love it. The campy awkwardness is disarming and it’s fun […]
