April Macie
Do you remember
the girl in your
high school who
had a horrible
rumor spread
about her? It
might have
involved a
football team, a
dog and some
peanut butter or
processed meat.
Well, that girl
in Easton,
Pennsylvania was
April Macie. So,
where did she
turn for
comfort? Not to
her family...
cause' they're
all crazy. Crazy
or drunk... So,
where do you go
when you're an
outcast in
school and your
family tree is
rotten? While
some might sit
rocking in the
fetal
position...
slowly humming Copa CopaCabbana,
others might
turn to the lord
and April turned
to promiscuity. Promiscuity and
then comedy.
With her
irreverent brand
of overtly
sexual humor she
attempts to
break down
double-standards
and lend her
voice to
sexually
dissatisfied
women
everywhere.
April would like
to add that she
doesn't really
know what
irreverent
means, but she's
heard a lot of
other comics use
it and thought
it sounded kinda'
cool. "Her
comedy is
searingly
honest," said
this guy she
knows from
working at
Hooter's who
came to see her
show one time.
Although she has
only been doing
comedy for a
short period of
time, she has
been using
comedy as a
defense her
entire life. She
loves to perform
and her favorite
role to play is
victim. For
April, comedy
isn't a career,
comedy isn't
even a choice.
Comedy is a
calling!! She
totally stole
that quote from
Bernie Mac...
but it's soooo
great and she
truly believes
it is her
calling. April
also loves to
talk about
herself in the
third person.
