Birdie Googins Benefit Show Set for 5/11

For one night only, Saturday May 11 at 7:30 pm, Birdie Googins, aka The Mardens Lady, will bring her crazy brand of stand-up comedy to the St. Lawrence Arts Center, 76 Congress Street, Portland. Patrons may purchase tickets by going to the St. Lawrence website at www.stlawrencearts.org.

Karmo Sanders is the actress/writer behind Birdie Googins. Her show at the St. Lawrence has turned into a benefit for her family. Sanders' husband was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and as many artists in Maine, he does not have health insurance. When Deirdre Nice, Executive Director of the St. Lawrence, heard this, she immediately offered the event as a benefit for the Sanders family. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to help defray medical costs. Deirdre and the St. Lawrence have helped many artists over the years and this is another example of the great generosity from the amazing theater on MunJoy Hill.

Birdie Googins (aka: the Mardens Lady) is a well known stand up comedian who has received rave reviews from all over the State for her one woman comedy show: Birdie Googins: Accidentally Maine's Only Supermodel. In Northern Maine the press calls her an icon. In Southern Maine she's heralded as a phenomenon. No matter what region she's appearing in she's regarded as hilarious.

Due to ever increasing popularity she's recently been announcing her candidacy for Queen. An eccentric of the highest order, Birdie's quirky take on the economy, politics, love and tales of high adventure, will be a hoot. Guaranteed. Don't miss this appearance by one of Maine's most famous personalities!
