Award-winning Toronto funny woman Sandra Battaglini is back with a new show. Sandra premieres her sixth solo show, Classy Lady, from June 14-24 at the Alumnae Theatre, directed by creative partner and colleague Phil Luzi.

Her last solo presentation  - Hard Headed Woman - played to sold-out audiences at The Diesel Playhouse and garnered her a Canadian Comedy Award.

Since then, Sandra "has transformed from a Hard-Headed Woman to a Classy Lady - and her perspectives on things have certainly been refined - well, at least evolved.  Classy Lady chronicles Ms. Battaglini's rise to ladyhood; but just what does that mean to this sharp-witted, opinionated, Italian-Canadian traditionalist? Classy Lady is Battaglini's newest and boldest, and dare we say, classiest solo presentation to date."

In 1999, Sandra Battaglini enrolled at The Second City Training Centre and fell in love with improvisation. Shortly thereafter, Sandra fearlessly entered the comedy scene and became known for her off-beat and outrageous character invention. Since than, Sandra's art practice has crossed several disciplines including clown, vaudeville, circus, sketch, stand-up and performance art. For more than 10 years, she has churned out dozens of solo turns and collaborated with some of Toronto's foremost satirists.

Phil Luzi writes and hosts the outrageous monthly variety show, The Sal & Sandy Show with Sandra Battaglini at The Underground Comedy Club, and is a member Toronto's shameless troupe of musical satirists, The SPECIALS.
