Dinah Shore Weekend is known as the biggest and longest-running lesbian event in the world, renowned mostly for its stellar music lineup each spring. But did you know the all-girl party also attracts some of the best comedic performers in the country? This year’s talent includes two of our favorites, and we can’t wait to see these women on stage in Palm Springs this April!
The high-profile names are expected to perform to sold-out crowds, so don’t procrastinate buying tickets for these two shows. These performances are not included in the general weekend pass, so make sure you do your diligence and reserve comedy night tickets. They are only $40 but they are going FAST.
