Every day is HETERO Comicus day, but...

...Wednesday, September 5th is HOMO COMICUS DAY!


Come join us as we get our singing and funny on with lots of fancy comedians like Jim David, Sapna Kumar and the woman who makes our faces hurt from laughing so much JESSICA KIRSON (she's the one in the picture above who El is resting her chin on) - all hosted by the wonderful Bob Montgomery at Gotham Comedy Club.

Tickets HERE!

Drizzunk

Now that we are boring hausfraus with babies (ok, one baby), we don't get out much.  And we definitely don't party like we used to. Actually, we haven't "partied like we used to" in longer than we care to admit. In honor of our former lives, we share with you a video taken whilst performing on a gay cruise that encapsulates why it's probably best that we don't drink. Please to enjoy all of the eyelashes and slurring. Oh and language is NSFW!

Olympics of Mel & El


This is what Mel & El do backstage after every show.

Some people train for thousands of hours to become the best swimmer or runner in the Universe and some people get exhausted just watching the Olympics on TV. Not surprisingly, we are the latter. But if there was an Olympics of Ridiculous and Fun, we would train, compete and represent the United States with slightly inappropriate songs and stories that would change the world.

In lieu of this Silly Olympics, we will be presenting Mel & El: Our Sorta Kinda Gay Time of the Month this Thursday at 92YTribeca. Contrary to the title, this show is AFS (Appropriate For Straights). So in between watching mostly naked Olympic Volleyball players hug it out every time they make a point, go getcher tickets!


It's all happening.

Gather your friends.

Let's do this, People.

(Get your tickets HERE)


With our VERY hysterical and ENTIRELY gay special guest BEN LERMAN!


THURSDAY, AUGUST 9TH

7PM

92YTRIBECA


* And, remember, if you'd like to celebrate any kind of Life Happening (birthday, bridal shower, divorce, coming out) at the show, just bring a group of 6 or more and the Celebra-tee will receive a personalized RAP from Mel & El. It's a hoot. Email melandel@melandel.com for more details.


Um, also, if you are in the NYC-area and a person who likes to apply makeup to your face, we have a STRONG SUGGESTION. Check out this class with Makeup Guru Erin Williams.
