Sidesplittin' Sapphos

Poppy Champlin’s restless, roving comedic mind was forged in the pressure cooker of Second City, and it gracefully alights on any subject on any night.

Poppy Champlin’s restless, roving comedic mind was forged in the pressure cooker of Second City, and it gracefully alights on any subject on any night. But on the Queer Queens of Qomedy Tour, it probably sticks close to the night’s binding theme: lesbianism, and the terrors and triumphs thereof.
