Today I have a set and a revealing interview/ amateur therapy session with my friend Janice Rodriguez.
Janice learned from local Chicago greats like Kelsie Huff and Alex Kumin and is the founder of Las Locas Comedy. Las Locas started out in a large salon, packing it to the brim at every show and now works as a pop up showcase at larger venues. Las Locas features women of color, usually with Latin backgrounds, and an honorary loca.
Janice is one of those rare performers who not only has a serious hustle, but uses it to elevate those around her. Her style is the frank everywoman.
Also, Eddie Murphy’s Comedy specials were ‘Delirious’ in 1983, in which he wore red leather, and ‘Raw’ in 1987, where he wore purple.
