Last night we finally got a chance to check out the popular “Chicks are Funny” series curated by Anna Phillips. The good news, a few hundred packed the Funny Bone on a cold winter Wednesday; the bad news, the visiting Canadian comics were definitely funnier…just joking.

Overall, the production served up a hardy dose of laughter.

The evening was hosted by Pamela Wertz. The headliner was North America’s funniest nurse, Zabrina Chevannes.

Anna Phillips said she thinks she is smarter than Lil’ Wayne, but she’s not sure.

Jessimae Peluso, who now lives in NYC, danced on stage, then reminisced about CNY and summers at Green Lakes making the human chain

The laughs were punctated by stories about Hip Hop, relationships, parties and pet dogs.

Amy Carlson, who lives in New Rochelle, wrote a poem about Syracuse, want to hear it, here it goes.
