Check out my new pro-gay marriage song recorded at Moonwork in NYC.
And here’s the Baby Song sans the band from the same show. Shhhh, it’s a lullaby.
“During the day I take care of my kids, but when the sun goes down…. GUNGREASE!”
My sketch group Fearsome’s “GUNGREASE” video… ahh, the memories. I played this for someone recently and hadn’t watched it in a while. A real gem. My parents must be so proud.
Come to Moonwork this Saturday night at the Phil Coltoff Center in the West Village at 9pm. I’ll be playing my new pro-gay marriage song, “Marriage is for Fags.”
With guests: David Cope, Andrea Rosen, Shayna Ferm, Victor Varnado, and Tom Shillue.
YOW!
Thursday, January 7th, I’ll be at Comedy Below Canal at the 92Y Tribeca
This line-up is spectacular: Colin Quinn (SNL, Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn); Brooke Van Poppelen (Chicago Public Radio), Rory Albanese (The Daily Show Executive Producer), Tom Shillue (Late Night With Conan O’Brien, Premium Blend); and little old me.
92Y Tribeca | 200 Hudson Street | 9pm | $10

And then… Friday, January 8th: Splurge! at Happy Ending with Leo Allen, Craig Baldo, Claudia Cogan, Giulia Rozzi and Tom Shillue and me again, hosted by the amazing and energetic Carolyn Castiglia. It’s the premiere of this new show – so come on out – oh, and it’s FREE!
Happy Ending | 302 Broome Street (between Forsyth and Eldridge) 8pm, doors open at 7
Do you have a baby? Or do you know someone with an infant or toddler that wants to be a superstar? Are the parents easily offended? We are about to shoot my new music video to my new song, Lullaby – a song for all the babies out there – and we are looking for little tykes to star in it. And the more the merrier – there’s nothing funnier than singing and rolling around in a room full of babies, am I right?
If you know an appropriate baby (in NYC) for this inappropriate endeavor, please email me or facebook me.
Kisses, Shay

Lou Albert Russo (you may know him by his YouTube screen name, russocomedy, has given me ventriloquism props. I had to share them with you all. Thanks Lou!
“This is good fun. A natural satirist, a guitar player, comic lyricist and singer with a neat spoof on learning ventriloquism. She’s obviously practiced her ventro-phonics and does them quite well. Her originality creates a pleasant surprise.”
