Hello comedy family!
June came and went before I knew it and no Rubber Chicken. So, you must be extra hungry for it now! This chicken may seem a little long, but that's only because our family is growing and getting bigger and better. Remember that you can check out the Newsletter Items on the right to see what's in this edition.
A lot of you are still not on the StandUp Academy yahoo group. You are missing all the fun! If you are not on the group, shoot me an email and I will send you an invitation to join.
If you ever want to include something in The Chicken, just email the info to rubberchickengazette@gmail.com
Enjoy this edition of The Rubber Chicken Gazette!
Love, yo mama Bobbie
