Mrs. Hughes Set To Appear at Zanies Comedy Club 7/28-8/1
Zanies presents YouTube favorite, Mrs. Hughes. "That's right," she says. "I'm a grandmother. I don't have any jokes about it 'cause they live with us and it's not funny." Of course when you hear her talk about it you realize it is funny... very funny. Her act is punctuated with pithy observations on parenting, hot flashes, and husbands, "They're like brassieres. Sometimes you just want to be rid of them and go free. But you can't 'cause you need the support."

She's just about the last person you'd expect to see in a nightclub. Recently opening for America's favorite mom -Florence Henderson's "All The Live's Of Me," is the woman who could be everyone's favorite neighbor. Mrs. Hughes www.mrshughes.com has becomean Internet comedy sensation as a grandmother who has learned to embrace modern technology to spread her pearls of motherly and grandmotherly wisdom.
In addition to a hectic engagement schedule, the wit and humor of Mrs. Hughes has now been adapted by Doozycards in a series of animated ecards http://www.doozycards.com/mrs-hughes-ecards for birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc. And now, fans can turn their car CD player into a comedy club! (But skip the two-drink minimum...). Two terrific live shows are now available on CD -- The "PG" show is, well, a little PG. The "R" show is really just "R Lite."
Future engagments include:
Aug 4 at Zanies Comedy Club, Nashville
Aug 5 at Improv Comedy Club, Louisville
Aug 6 and 7 at Circa 21 Dinner Playhouse, Rock Island, Illinois
