Sunday, May 5th will mark the third Persisticon event at the Bell House, in Park Slope. This biannual night of comedy, and so much more, is a public statement insisting on the election of more progressive women. This weekend Persisticon III benefits EMILY’s List, a political action organization focused on helping pro-choice Democratic women achieve political positions.
An all volunteer production, Persisticon is highly anticipated and will be filled with laughs, information, and fun. The lineup for the evening’s festivities is phenomenal and at least 80% women, always. It includes Aparna Nancherla, Amber Tamblyn, Ana Fabrega, Kerry Coddett, and Ophira Eisenberg as emcee.
Persisticon will also provide an opportunity for local women entrepreneurs to share their activist-centric art and memorabilia with attendees and promote more community involvement. Drinks will be flowing, connections will be made, and a group of like-minded, fearless folks will unite for an energizing affair. The collision of art, comedy, and electing feminists has never been so exciting.
