Schtick A Pole In It

Comedians Dan Goodman and Joanna Ross never thought they'd run a comedy & pole dancing show, mostly because that's not a thing that existed. They had just wrapped up Dan's short film where they worked with a number of pole dancers on "Skinja". It's about a stripper by night, ninja by later that night, you get it. A good friend of theirs got sick and they decided to do a fundraiser for her. They knew a bunch of pole dancers and bunch of comics, so Joanna came up with the great idea to use both kinds to raise money for a good cause. And that's how you get a comedy and pole dancing show. The night was such a success they kept it going. 10 years, 4 homes, and 5 poles later they are expanding to more cities and dates.
