HelloGiggles Presents

The web portal for all things lady launched another outlet for expression in 2011: HelloGiggles Presents, held at UCB. The monthly show features a combination of guest hosts, local personalities, HelloGiggles staffers, and even a few dudes waxing thoughtfully on the theme of the night. Exciting past guests include June Diane Raphael, Casey Wilson, Max Greenfield and Beth Behrs, as well as a slew of talented writers and standups. But no matter the caliber of performers, the atmosphere is casual. And each show usually features one newbie, who's encouraged to bring notes onstage or read a written piece if nervous and who's always cheered on to greatness by the audience.
