The Bi Wives Club is a comedy showcase for all outsiders who hide in plain sight. Playful, intimate, and hilarious—audiences praise the show’s atmosphere, community, and humor. It’s both one of the funniest and most energizing shows in town.

The comedian producers of the Bi Wives Club are three bi wives (not to each other) who perform, celebrate, and promote joke-dense, authentic comedy. KRIS LANTZY is a queer comic and hot mom tackling alllll ‘the issues’ through her playful comedic lens, like what to do when everyone thinks your wife is your sister? CHRISTEN MANVILLE has an unmatched ability to inhabit discordant perspectives with ease. She is the ideal date for an X-rated experimental puppet show and your grandmother’s 80th birthday party. KAYLA MCCAFFREY is an actor, comedian, and improvisor as well as a newlywed wife, inner child nurturer, and vegan dog mom. Kayla jumps between her too-many roles with ease and throws her whole heart into everything she does.
