Raleigh, NC — The “Women Be Shopping” comedy showcase kicked off in the clearance section of Home Goods to boisterous reception. The stage was fully decked in garden gnomes, as well as oversized decorative house plants, with harsh LED lighting that stung the retinas of those present.
Master of ceremonies and widely unrecognized vlogger, Mandy McDonald (of “Don’t Call Me Karen” fame), greeted the crowd with as much enthusiasm as the mother of an 8th grade boy could muster. The energy was palpable, and the “Am I Right?” punchlines were aplenty.
“I just think it’s super neat that I can come to a Ross’ Home Goods and hear jokes that make me laugh with my whole belly, while shopping for shapewear that covers my whole belly!” remarked Shelia Turnblad of Holly Springs. “See, even I have jokes! Women ARE funny!”
The festivities continued as the all white, all cis-het female lineup took the stage with reckless abandonment that screamed, “Oh no, she didn’t!”; the comediennes bravely tackled issues like Go-Gurt emergencies, and Wrangler jeans, while reminding the crowd that their sister store, Marshall’s, is having a sale on ladies swimwear. And while this show may not have shattered any glass ceilings, there were plenty of deals on glass top coffee tables.
The comedy showcase was originally set to take place over the weekend, but was later rescheduled, so as to not interfere with little league practice. The next leg of the tour will bring these ladies to venues like Bed, Bath, & Beyond, with dates TBD because, well, little league. So get ready, gas up that minivan, and head on over to the “Women be Shopping” comedy showcase, wherever and whenever they decide to have it next!
