Broad Comedy is a high-energy, women's sketch, improv and musical satire group. The all-original material is intelligent, witty, and hilarious. "Nothing is off limits when the women who call themselves 'The Broads' get together... Yuppies beware. New mothers, you will get a ribbing too... A Broad Comedy performance is bound to be funny, for men and women. Filled with social commentary like a spoof of male-sensitivity training or plain 'ol goofy numbers like the forlorn house-wife cleaning to the strains of 'The Nutcracker,' the troupe takes risks that pay off."

Hothead Paisan
This tongue-in-cheek "homicidal lesbian terrorist" comic book character is the creation of artist Dianne DiMassa. Very out-of-date website created by a Hothead Paisan fan about the strip. Hothead's a 'homicidal lesbian terrorist' who goes on occasional killing sprees when exposed to Neo-Nazis, anti-abortion protestors, & rapists. The site's not great, and it's at least three years out-of-date, but the comic is great.
