The Females in Comedy Convention (FICC) is gearing up for its first-ever annual event which has attracted some of the top names in urban comedy such as Sheryl Underwood, Thea Vidale, Luenell, Kym Whitley, Edwonda White and Tiffany Haddish. Sponsored by The Females in Comedy Association (FICA) and Miss Rich Entertainment, and hosted by veteran comedian Hope Flood, the four-day convention includes nightly showcases, workshops and networking events led by comedians and industry professionals such as Shang, Greg Dean, Buddy Lewis, Ms. Laura Hayes and Tina Graham. The convention will take place April 26-29 at The J Spot Comedy Club in Los Angeles, where Vidale will headline the comedy showcases.
Comedians can register online for a full pass to all events and submit a 3-5 minute video, or a daily pass to workshops and seminars. Full pass registration also includes a free showcase spot at the convention (As of press time, spots on the showcase are still available.) The deadline for registration is Sunday, April 15. Registration will be available during the convention at a higher fee.
A portion of the proceeds from the fundraising events will benefit “A Nickel of Hope Inc,” featuring Hope’s Girlz Club motto: “How can a child take us into the future with hope?” in partnership with City Lites.
