This Saturday, Traverse Comedy presents a Double Feature of stand-up comedy at the Coalition with Femmes the Rules at 8pm and Emily Walsh & Drew Lausch at 10pm. each show is $10, or you can see both for $15!
8PM / FEMMES THE RULES
The show where men get interrupted (It's all in good fun!)
Join host Mary Jane French as she welcomes a lineup of 3 women and/or nonbinary comedians to the stage as they take aim at their male colleagues where it hurts the most: Right in the stage time.
The women/nonbinary comics will take the hot seat on stage during a male comedians set and be equipped with a bell that allows them to interject, critique, add new rules to the man’s performance, and dole out arbitrary strikes.
Once the man’s set is (finally) over, the comedians will trade places, and you better believe the man has to just watch quietly.

10PM / EMILY WALSH & DREW LAUSCH
DREW LAUSCH is a Brooklyn-Based comedian, writer, producer, actor, and an "oversharing flirt" (NY press) originally from Fargo, ND. He recently filmed an episode of MTV's "Singled Out" and made his headlining debut at La Zoom Room in Asheville, NC. Drew performs regularly at New York venues such as Chelsea Music Hall, Public Hotel, The Bell House, Union Hall, West Side Comedy Club, and at least one pizza parlor in the East Village. Drew's "easy confidence and stage presence" has been likened to a "dinner date that's going really well." (Theatre Jones, TX). Drew has a "strong, hilarious, and provocative point of view" (Dallas Comedy House), but most importantly, he started flossing this year.
EMILY WALSH is a comedian who performs nightly in bars and comedy clubs across New York City. Originally from Boston, MA, Emily moved to New York City after college to pursue her dream of painting scenery for theatre, film and television. She still paints because comedy doesn’t provide health insurance.
Emily was recently featured on Kevin Hart’s Lyft Comics on Peacock, and before the pandemic she headlined a sold out Stand Up NY as part of their Headliner Series. She won 1st place in the Comedy Mob Festival at Stand Up NY in 2018, with 200+ comedian submissions, 2nd place in the She Devil Comedy Festival in 2019 at Broadway Comedy Club, and has been named Comic of the Week on Jackie Kashian and Laurie Kilmartin’s podcast the Jackie and Laurie Show. Festival credits include HBO’s Women in Comedy Festival, Gilda’s Laughfest, the Out of Bounds Festival in Austin, and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival, Oak City Comedy Festival, Maine Comedy Festival, and the Rogue Island Comedy Festival in Newport, RI.
