Lesbian Game Changer: Marga Gomez
Game Changers: Lesbians You Should Know About is a richly-designed and important book about lesbians who have made significant contributions to LGBTQ culture over the past 30 years. I’m creating this book as a resource for students as a result of The FAIR Act, a recent law which requires the inclusion of LGBT History and […]
That Time I Opened for Etta James
When I was just starting out in comedy in the 80’s I was hitchhiking in San Francisco one night, yup – me and Aileen Wournos – the last lesbian hitchhikers on the planet.  I very luckily got a ride from Lupe De Leon the manager for Etta James, Kenny Rankin and Tania Maria. I made him laugh […]
Top Lesbian Comics Get the Vote Out For LPAC!
I caught up with Beth Shipp, LPAC Executive Director and this is what she had to say to our Epochalips community: “Building lesbian political power in any election cycle is important. Building lesbian political power in any election cycle is important. Building it this year to support Hillary Clinton’s historic run for the White House […]
‘Carol’ is Caliente!
Who needs a stripper on a pole when you can experience the most exquisite sexual build up between two people in the history of film with the new period drama Carol. Our girl Cate Blanchett does an outstanding job as 1950s socialite Carol Aird, a woman who is going through a bitter divorce as she […]
Monica Palacios’ Queer Comedy in SF!
San Francisco, Mi Amor! The 80’s: Queer Comedy, Taquerias, The Castro, The Mission, Mullets & Shoulder Pads So Wide You Could Fly! I first saw Monica perform as one half of the ‘Only Latin Female Comedy Duo in the Universe’Â alongside Marga Gomez. It was 1985 at Fanny’s in the Castro, where I lived with […]
Lesbian Hilarity in Marga Gomez’ ‘Pound’
I’m super excited for the San Francisco October premiere of my eleventh solo comedy POUND at Brava Theater. It’s been a fantastic experience that began earlier this year in NYC. I was offered a commission to create and perform a new show for an edgy, sexually adventurous LGBT festival. I decided to develop a premise […]
My Top 5 Lesbian Halloween Costumes
I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Halloween. As a child I loved it even more than Christmas. At 6 years old I fought hard to get my parents to let me wear the ‘boys’ monster costume I coveted. So, what is it about lesbians (and all queers!) and Halloween? We love to dress up. […]

Comedy for Equality IN / Michelle Shocked OUT
After Michele Shocked‘s recent homophobic rant in San Francisco, HopMonk Tavern owner Dean Biersch cancelled her scheduled March 29th show. That’s good news for North Bay queer comedy lovers. Marga Gomez stepped up to co-headline with Johnny Steele and entire door proceeds go to my favorite local organization, Spectrum LGBT Center, serving the North Bay. (Read […]
Quinceañera x 2
When I turned 50 in 2009, it really was no big deal. All my parts still worked and I wasn’t in need of stool softeners. Ok—maybe half a tab. But I looked cool when I danced…that’s if you closed one eye and squinted. So it’s now 2012 and I must say, this is a big […]
