Ronna and Beverly at the Bell House in Brooklyn-A Comedic Dream Team
I'm sure many of you can name famous male comedy teams: Abbott & Costello, Lewis & Martin and Key & Peele. If you can't think of a female dynamic duo, then you haven't heard of Ronna & Beverly (and shame on you.) But I won't do the blame game - you just need to tune into these smart & hilarious dames. Their podcast "Ronna & Beverly" is phenomenal. Their schtick is personifying 2 middle aged Jewish women, lifelong best friends since childhood from Boston. Ronna is the savvy, sensible voice of reason & Beverly, although sharp-witted can be volatile, easily distracted and unpredictable. Combined, the two comedians are a consumate, indefatigable pair. They're clever, irreverant, provocative, socially relevant, sagacious and always hilarious. And, at the core, their friendship & love for each other is heartwarming & admirable. They're like siblings who irritate each other, regardless, they've got each other's back. Love keeps them together. Last night, Ronna & Beverly played to two sold out, adoring audiences at the Bell House in Brooklyn. Just seeing the life size photo of them on the curtain with Beverly's wide open smile & Ronna's s owlish grin, is enough to lift your spirits. Once on stage, these two light-up a room. Their bickering banter is flooded with laughter. They shared their salacious, outrageous scenarios from recent events. Seems Senator Schumer was attempting to seduce Ronna in D.C. while Beverly's shenanigans at security screening resulted in a White House lockdown. These gals know how to bring the house down. They brought out to celebrity guests, comedians Chris Gethard "Don't Think Twice" & Rachel Dratch (SNL alum.) The guests are always second best but laugh along with the rest. Sam, their sidekick assistant is pressed to answer any query in a hurry. After the show, both ladies were incredibly gracious. They stayed to individually greet & take photos with their fans. Laughter & love will keep us all together. Ladies, we'll be thinking of you, hoping you'll be there to share with us forever.
