The Women of Ill Repute
A comedian and a journalist walk into a bar…
And buy a round for the movers and shakers, the heart and rule breakers. .… Join us for smart talk with smart people. Big thoughts from the not so little ladies, and perhaps not the gentlest men: performers, politicos, doctors, lawyers, and lots and lots of writers.
Some are legends, others will be. People who don’t give a damn about old rules but do give a damn about people. People who are not easy but interesting. People like us … and maybe you.
