Vickie Shaw looks like the woman next door ... All-American with blond hair, lipstick and polished nails. Once she opens her mouth, you’ll know she was born and raised in Texas and you’ll never stop laughing. After eighteen years of marriage and three kids, something was missing in Vickie’s life... “People were always coming up to me and saying, ‘You should do stand-up comedy.”
Vickie did become a stand-up comic and came out as a lesbian at the same time.
“I would’ve come out as a stand-up, but it would’ve killed my parents.”
Now, she performs in both straight and gay venues opening audience’s minds with laughter.“I don’t look the part. I blow away all their stereotypes. I’m the woman next door—except I just happen to be gay.”
Vickie has performed in almost every state in the US over the last five years and has headlined in various venues including: Michigan Womyn’s Festival, National Women’s Music Festival, Monterrey Beach Women’s Festival; and the Dinah & Lina Shore Golf Tournament in Southern California and at numerous clubs, including: Spellbinder’s and The Laff Stop in Houston, Comedy Undergound in Seattle, The Improv in Cleveland, Wall Street in Columbus, Luna Park in LA, 88’s in NYC, The Light Project in Miami and Internationally on Olivia Travel cruises & Club Med resorts.
Today, Vickie Shaw is a seasoned comedian hilariously addressing the triumphs and trials of being a woman, a mother and gay in America. Vickie’s own life provides the best material for her show:as an out, lesbian mother, she has successfully raised two sons, (one of whom is married with a brand new baby daughter, Vickie's first grand child), has a teenage daughter still living at home, is married to her 'husbian', Sgt. Patch, and on top of all that she is a recovering S.O.B. (Southern Baptist).
To date, Vickie Shaw has her own CD :"You're Funny?" My Mom, and is a featured artist on the Best of Lesbian Comedy release on Rising Star Records. Also available is the hilarious video of her Sick & Wrong tour. In addition, there are several unique and exciting projects and appearances in the works, including a memorable appearance on Comedy Central's Premium Blend and a movie by Andrea Meyerson (Laughing Matters), that will be titled: More Laughing Matters.
Last year she toured the US with her "La-la-pa-Lesbo Tour", this year with her new Sick and Wrong Tour (& the video), she will crack you up! Hopefully, the future will bring Vickie Shaw to your town for an unforgettable time!
