Firecracker Comedy!  Welcome to the first THREE-GUEST EPISODE of Broccoli and Ice Cream! Because... Firecracker Comedy is a comedy 'supergroup' composed of Gabby Gutierrez-Reed, Kate Strobel and Salma Zaky. Forged in the grade-A comedy incubator of Denver, CO, Firecracker Comedy has been putting on killer shows for years.  The Firecracker Comedy album celebrates this trio of badass women who center their comedy, and everything they do around their deep and undying friendship, love, and appreciation for each other: "We started running Firecracker Comedy as a standup show in a tattoo shop in Denver years ago, when we all were in a bit of a dark place and at a crossroads in our lives. The show is a celebration of finding joy, building community, and being silly with your pals when the world around you is spiraling out of control. We even have matching firecracker tattoos!" Firecracker Comedy consists of 20 minute sets from Gabby, Kate and Salma, following an introduction from all three to welcome the audience to the group's delightful chemistry. Each of the three comedians have distinct styles: Kate's heartfelt storytelling, Gabby's hilarious impressions, and Salma's perfectly crafted one-liners. These differences compliment each other, much like in a friendship (or three)!   Salma and Kate are now based in Brooklyn where they regularly bring the Firecracker vibes to Union Hall. The album is a culmination of material from their collective time in Denver - running that sold-out indie comedy show in the tattoo studio, hauling chairs across town, hanging flyers in every Denver coffee shop, stressing about if the broken sound system would work that night - as well as Salma and Kate's early experiences in the Big Apple. The album shows how no matter where they find themselves, the three always come back together as friends. Gabby, Kate and Salma of course want their listeners to belly laugh for an hour straight, but they also want listeners to feel connected to them as a group, and be inspired to create silly little things with their friends too. What else is life really about besides deepening our relationships and collaborating with the ones you love? We have a great chat! You have a great listen!
