Women Fully Clothed is a Canadian live sketch comedy troupe, with a cast of four women, touring throughout the world.
Cast
- Kathy Greenwood ( Whose Line Is It Anyway?, This Hour Has 22 Minutes)
- Robin Duke ( Saturday Night Live, SCTV)
- Jayne Eastwood ( My Big Fat Greek Wedding, This Is Wonderland)
- Teresa Pavlinek ( History Bites, The Jane Show)
Overview
The show was the brainchild of Robin Duke in 2003, and was originally commissioned for a Second City fundraiser. [1]
Most shows last for 90 minutes (although they can be as short as 20, or as long as 120). Sketches focus on issues that the everyday woman faces with a "comedic" twist.
Disclaimers are made by each cast member during the show to emphasize that the show is not about male-bashing. Men are encouraged to come to the show as well, although a majority of their audiences is women.
Women Fully Clothed was featured in the 2006 Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal, Quebec. [2] They were also nominated for Best Sketch Troupe at the 6th Annual Canadian Comedy Awards in 2005. [3] Eugene Levy calls them "the five funniest women in Canada." [4]
The show originally featured five women, but Debra McGrath ( Getting Along Famously) left the group for unknown reasons in the first half of 2009.
The show is directed by John Hemphill. [5]
