Hello D Words!!

This is the fundraising promo for a new comedy pilot in the works titled Man-Hating Lesbians.

How many times have you watched a show featuring two lesbians, fallen in love with the characters, got invested in their plot, only for it to get canceled for 'low viewership'? How many times have you had to turn to fan edits (or even fan fiction) to see two characters who are clearly gay actually be paired together? Welcome to Man-Hating Lesbians.

We love our community, our spaces, and how it feels to accept yourself as a dyke. We want that to be on screen. The creative team behind Man-Hating Lesbians love being lesbians. And so we made a show about it.

To make this show a reality, to bring it to your screen, we have a super ambitious goal: to raise $25,000!

It’s a big one, but reaching that goal allows us to MAKE the damn thing and get more diverse dyke media representation out into the world. Our ultimate goal is to get the attention of a showrunner and get the pilot greenlit into a series, so reaching our goal as fast as possible is an important part of being able to do that!

So I am gonna ask you for two personal favors: can you go to our fundraising site and donate? And, more importantly, could you repost our pitch video on your Instagram and TikTok? (@manhatinglesbians on IG - @manhatinglesbiansnyc on TikTok) It would really mean a lot to me and help the campaign ten-fold!

To donate go to https://tinyurl.com/mhl2024 , choose your perk level at the amount you're willing to give, and then use the share button there on the site to post it to your socials. The perk at the $20 dollar level gets you early access to watch the pilot we film - and there’s even more goodies, like t-shirts, bandanas, and even a Zoom Gossip Call where we spill ALL our own drama!

We’ve been overwhelmed by the support we've received so far. Our recent fundraising event at Stonewall Inn successfully raised nearly $1,500 and brought our community together in support of the project. Additionally, our campaign has reached over 200K people on TikTok, showcasing the strong interest and enthusiasm for our pilot.

If you read this far, THANK YOU.

Love & Lesbians <3

Laughter is queen

I had the BEST time headlining The Drive-By Comedy Show this week at Broadway Comedy Club! Huge thanks to the wonderful Julius Carr and the club staff for the hospitality! The comics had me in stitches! I can’t wait to come back!

On Friday, I’ll be performing in Kweendom at Pete’s Candy Store alongside the funniest queer comics in New York! Don't miss the show Time Out called "consistently dope" and Thrillist described as "extremely gay." Bobby Hankinson hosts. Hope to see you there!
