April and Christina: Notes from life on the road

April Macie and Christina Pazsitzky are on the road and in the mood, appearing at comedy clubs as the team “Naughty and Sorta Nice.” Their nationwide tour, dubbed “Sex in Every City,” is sort of a traveling standup comedy version of the Spice Girls meeting the Sarah Jessica Parker posse.

The team’s bawdy humor blends sex with race relations, boozing, the workplace, and even what’s hot about fat guys. April is the “naughtier” one, with her sultry redhead looks and penis jokes galore. Christina is the somewhat “nicer” blonde, dressed in white and joking about her Catholic youth while also dishing plenty of her own raunchiness. If you think today’s women comics are less provocative than their male counterparts, check out these chicks.

April and Christina’s humor draws from their colorful lives before and since they began doing standup comedy six years ago. Their dysfunctional families and friends provide inspiration, as does their life on the road. Like when they did a show in Boca Raton that was a Spinal Tap moment. By mistake, their audience was a roomful of senior citizens—who somehow actually enjoyed the dick jokes. Another time, an Olympic gold medalist’s drunken heckling prompted April to respond with a threat to come down from the stage and beat her with ice skates. Who says women don’t have balls?!

After a recent gig in Irvine, CA, the sexcapades continue on to New York, Miami, and Toledo. Catch ‘em live if you can, or check out their videos here on Mini Movie Channel.
