Jennie McNulty Presents: Walking Funny With... Vickie Shaw

by
Trish Bendix

This week, Jennie takes a walk with comedian Vickie Shaw. In addition to getting a peek at her athletic prowess at Kate Clinton's annual P-town Women's Week touch football game, you'll also hear some hysterical material about "ziplining" in the jungle on an Olivia Cruise.

The girls go a little deeper, as Vickie talks about coming out as a married Southern Baptist with three kids and how her "gay comedy" was received in the South.

    Absolutely loved this interview.  Vickie is so cool.  Her zipline routine had me laughing uncontrollably. A big thanks to Jennie for getting Vickie to open up and share some of her stories with us.  That was very uplifting and inspirational. Oh, and hilarious!

    I've always enjoyed Vickie Shaw's comedy. I like how she animates her stories during her stand-up rountine. She's a true inspiration and caring indiviual too. Enjoyed her short coming out story w/ Jenny M. Great interview.

    And Jennie isn't kidding about Vickie!  I was fortunate enough to be in P-Town and got to meet all the comedians and play "against" them in the football game.   Imagine my surprise to see myself in that clip from the game :)  Very cool!  Oh...and Vickie wasn't the only one tackling people.  I was brought down by Michelle Balan.  That grass was cold and wet...

    Jennie's show was great and thank God, was not mad when my cell phone went off during her act (I had NO idea I had left it in my coat pocket).  Thanks for being so great (funny) about it Jennie!

    If you haven't seen Vickie's story on Logo, you should.  I can't remember the exact name but she was featured on a story about coming out later in life.  Very touching.

    I discovered Vickie Shaw on logo and I think she's fabulous and hilarious and it's too bad not much logo programming works here in Canada.  Anyway, I think she's wonderful and by far the funniest and most endearing comedian I think I've ever heard.  She's just brilliant and I hope she does another show with Jenny soon.  Loved the shirt by the way, Vickie.  You rock!
