What’s a Wench?
Somewhere between the lowest form of comedy and the highest positioning of cleavage, exist Wenches. Too loud, too wanton, too rowdy, they’re the women your mother warned you about. Usually found in seedy pubs, shadowy speakeasies, and the occasional dark alleyway, a Wench can handle herself and at least 2 or 3 willing participants at the same time. They share their womanly charms with enthusiasm but are deeply protective of their crewmates. They curse like sailors and sometimes drink like sailors – they may just be sailors – but stand up for their community members and friends and family fiercely.Â
What We Do
The Fine & Bawdy Wenches is a troupe of musicians, cabaret performers, and comedians who enjoy grasping the low-hanging fruit very, very firmly. Shows can range from traditional Comedia slap n’ tickle guaranteed to go over the kids’ heads – without skipping over the adult innuendo – to modern musical, nerdlesque and burlesque acts. Many acts are custom-created for venues and events in partnership with the creative team, and we love working with a fun new vision.
When not performing, the Wenches oversee their fiefdom. The Otherhood is an oddball collection of performers, fans, friends, and everyone in between who come together online and in person at events to share songs, jokes, and life experiences. They are also outspoken feminist flirts, constantly advocating to help other women feel bold and beautiful in their daily lives. Their mission is to go over-the-top, encouraging others to express their inner Wench and have a helluva good time while doing it!
