SUPERSIZED WOMEN OF COMEDY Slated For Asheville Arts Festival

Explore Asheville Convention Bureau along with The Asheville Fringe Society are proud to present SUPERSIZED WOMEN OF COMEDY running Friday January 28th & Sunday January 30th.

SUPERSIZED WOMEN OF COMEDY is "a fun-filled romp into the minds of some of the nation's finest female comedians." The show is a blend of stand-up, feel-good songs, and interactive characters. The cast explore perceived beauty standards of society through insightful humor and music.

Weight is the heart of their comedy, but they guarantee "you'll leave feeling lighter than ever."
