On Thursday 08 July 2021 at 9PM we’re kicking off our summer series of Let ‘Em Eat Laughs: Where comedy, culture, and culinary collide — on IG Live at @funnybishness!
Our first guest this summer is veteran stand-up comedian, author, podcaster, and proud Caribbean-New-Yorker Leighann Lord. She’s been featured on Comedy Central, HBO, The View, and on the Netflix Def Comedy Jam’s 25th Anniversary Special. Fresh off the BWIC Laff Fest, this busybody will be with us on July 8 to talk about potlucks, cats, roast duck, and so much more.
Hosted by enoje. Join us and full your belly with good vibes.

At our first virtual all-ladies comedy show, enoje spits some truth.
May 15: Laugh aLong Weekend Comedy Showhttps://bishfunny.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/eventbrite-comedyshows.png21601080Bish FunnyBish Funnyhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c3919a46d1a28555e73d66ef7d17085a?s=96&d=mm&r=g
Our first online show, April Fools: The Bun and Cheese Edition, was definitely a success. All our free tickets sold out and our comedians appreciated your generous donations. We’d also like to thank our supportive sponsors and we hope you’ll support them right back!
Now we’re moving into May. Our weekends MAY not look quite like what we expected (see what I did there?) but we won’t let that stop us. There’s nothing like a good laugh to get your weekend going! Social distancing doesn’t mean we have to be distant. Join us online for a fun Friday night with a virtual bunch of friends.
Date: Friday 15 May 2020
Time: 8:00PM EST / 5:00PM PST
Presented by BISH Funny // hosted by enoje

Who’s On the Menu?
VERONICA VA VIE
Priscilia, under the stage named Veronica Va Vie, has been performing stand up for the past 5 years and has been a crowd favorite. Her content consists of stories relating to weight loss, her experiences growing up West Indian and her name Priscilia and the complexities that come with it. As the Host of Spillin’ the Beans Comedy, she enjoys meeting new and pro comedians alike and hopes to continue hosting well into her 80’s.
LADY DAY
Lady Day is a fresh new face in comedy. After years of having stand-up on her bucket list, she finally took the plunge last year and was instantly hooked. She’s performed at the Bag of Foolishness Comedy Show, Fifty Shades of Foolishness, and the March Madness Comedy Show at Local44 in Scarborough.
Lady Day’s perspective that “it’s better to laugh than cry” is the foundation for her comedy. She brings humour to her audience through stories that anyone can relate to, especially when it comes to dating and relationships.
