Up close and personal with comedian Erin Foley
What are you most looking forward to at
the Dinah this year?
I’m excited to see my friends
from the east coast. There’s a posse coming in for
the craziness. I’m also
looking forward to performing with Fortune and Gina who I absolutely adore on
and off the stage. And, of course, seeing boobs.
What do you have planned
for your show?
Magic and puppets and
fireworks.
How will it feel to
perform to thousands of hot women? Do you think it’ll be different audience
than a regular show?
Performing for thousands of
hot women, yes, I would say that’s different than ALL of my shows. Can’t wait.
I’ve performed at Dinah a couple of times and the audiences were great. The women are there to laugh and have a
good time which is all you can ask for.
What does the Dinah represent
to you? How do you think it has served the LGBT community for the past 24
years?
I think The Dinah provides an
amazing, safe space for lesbos to hang out with other lesbos. I’ve been lucky
to live in NYC and LA for the last 15 years and those cities have a built in
gay community. I think The Dinah does an amazing job of creating that community
(even for just 3-4 days) for women who don’t have that back home. It’s really
wonderful.
What would people be most
surprised to find in your suitcase for The Dinah?
Heels? Packages of almonds? A
good luck gnome?
What is the one fashion
trend you wish would just die?
Tevas. On land. I don’t even
want to see them near the water.
What is the one fashion
item you cannot live without?
I’m obsessed with large,
chunky watches. And I love high tops. That’s two fashion items. Lesbian fashion
items.
What was the most
embarrassing yet comical moment of your life?
I was hit with an onion ring
mid show. I was performing in a lunch room at a college in Peoria, IL when I
first started doing comedy on the road. It’s funny now, not so much in the
moment. But I survived and managed to still have a healthy relationship with
onion rings.
Who's your female celebrity crush?
Heidi Klum. Halle Berry.
Jennifer Lopez if she doesn’t speak.
What’s your “guilty pleasure” song?
I hate to admit it, but As
Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber. He’s a turd but that song is insanely
catchy. And my friend Renee and I have memorized the rap part. That happened.
Are you into the TV show “Orange is The New Black”; and if yes
who’s your favorite character and why?
Yes, I love that show. I
think you’d have to be in a coma not to enjoy it. Too far?
My favorite character is Alex
because I have an insane crush on Laura Prepon.
Worst gig (and why)? Best gig?
Worst gig: see the answer to
no. 9. Onion ring, enough said. Best gig? I think my two appearances on Conan were
amazing. They might be tied with the night I taped my Comedy Central half hour
special in New York City. I will never forget that night.
What can you tell us about
your upcoming project(s) for 2014?
My upcoming
projects...lots of fun road gigs coming up next year. My full schedule is www.erinkfoley.com.
And my sports podcast “Sports
Without Balls” will be moving to All Things Comedy, an amazing comedy webiste,
which is going to rock.
As The Dinah is celebrating its 24th Anniversary, what would
your birthday card read?
Happy Boobday Dinah! Thanks
for 24 years of golf in April!
