Women's Week 2026

Poppy Champlin puts the Fuh in Funny

Poppy Champlin is a comedy force—Joan Rivers Show winner, Showtime and Oprah regular, Rhode Island Comedy Hall of Fame inductee, and Ladies of Laughter 2024 champ. She's a Provincetown fixture and the producer of The Queer Qomedy Queens tour, now in its twelfth year. Her observational humor tackles tough subjects with the kind of fearless wit that makes you forget to breathe between laughs. Red Room's resident funny lady will have you cracking up all night.

Separate Couches: A musical memoir based on a true story. Girls On Fire.

Girls on Fire is a soulful duo that drifts between music styles like a mixed tape of sweet and spicy songs. They sing stories about things left unsaid, echoes of yesterday, laughable pains, and broken strings—blending intimate storytelling with emotional epics through lyrics that cut deep into the everyday to find the poetry bleeding underneath. A reminder that truth doesn't always arrive gently, but it always arrives.

Lisa Koch

Lisa Koch is a musician-comedian who blends twisted parody songs, razor-sharp wit, and velvet-voiced performances into something genuinely unhinged. Think Tina Fey meets Randy Rainbow with Joan Jett's guitar chops — she'll take you from gut-busting comedy about mammograms and middle age straight into a beautiful musical moment, then back again. A Seattle fixture who's shared stages with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, Koch brings her wacky originals, her alter ego Sister Mary Agnes, and five solo recordings' worth of material to the Red Room stage.

Suzanne Westenhoefer

Twenty-five years of groundbreaking, brutally honest comedy from the trailblazer who was the first openly lesbian comedian with an HBO Special and on Late Night with David Letterman. Suzanne never does the same show twice — she charges onto the stage without a script, and what happens is always a mystery and a delight. A wild night of comedy from someone who's spent a quarter century telling the truth, no holds barred.

Mina Hartong: Miss Personality

Three decades in, this international headliner is still mining comedy gold from her life — Connecticut upbringing, Dutch roots, years teaching public school, and being the lesbian aunt everyone wishes they had. Mina's razor-sharp wit and heartfelt storytelling land somewhere between hilarious and healing, the kind of night that leaves you laughing hard and feeling seen. Her debut special drops later this year; catch her live while you can.

Lisa Koch

Musician-comedian Lisa Koch brings twisted songs, demented characters, and razor-sharp parody to the Red Room stage. Think Tina Fey meets Randy Rainbow with Joan Jett's guitar chops — Koch delivers gut-busting comedy one moment and introspective musical medleys the next, all backed by velvet pipes and wacky alter egos like Sister Mary Agnes. A force of nature who's shared stages with Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, and Kate Clinton.

Mina Hartong: Miss Personality

Three decades into her comedy career, Mina Hartong brings the kind of sharp, joyful comedy that lands because it's grounded in real life — her Connecticut upbringing, Dutch roots, years teaching in public schools, and life as a lesbian.

This is comedy that's as hilarious as it is healing.
