| Justice and beer will be served when Marga Gomez
and Julie Goldman convene for three nights of stand-up comedy and barely
legal acts at The Club @ La Mama. In their new show, Gomez & Goldman:
Stand Up and Slander!, Gomez & Goldman will use every joke in the book
to defame Condoleezza Rice, the Cheney family, the axis of evil and Crest
White Strips. A surprise dyke tribunal may be held to entertain frivolous
lawsuits posed by audience members. This is the first joint project by Gomez
& Goldman, two of the most penetrating lesbians in comedy. It may be
their last if Alberto Gonzalez gets a hold of them.
MARGA GOMEZ

in the country. Marga’s career is profiled in the documentary Laughing
Matters, recently aired on Here TV. In 2004 Marga received a GLAAD Award
