<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman">CLEVELAND, Ohio – Nationally touring comedienne Kathie Dice performs her original, one-woman show “I’m Just Me … Mary” for one night only at the Hermit Club at 1629 Dodge Court, behind Playhouse Square, on Friday, October 9th at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $8 at the door, or $7 if you bring a canned food item for the Cleveland Foodbank.</FONT></STRONG></DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman">
<DIV><BR><STRONG>In “I’m Just Me … Mary,” Ms. Dice portrays the Virgin Mary as she believes Mary may have reacted when she was told she would be the mother of Jesus, giving a funny, touching and introspective performance that everyone will enjoy. “It’s not considered a religious show,” Dice says. “Mary – formerly known as...the virgin – shows us how to live life, with humor and with solid core values that keep you grounded and sane in today's crazy world,” Dice explains.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR><STRONG>An award-winning comedienne, actress, writer and director, Dice is a hometown gem with national recognition. Dice pokes fun at the world around her and finds her unique brand of humor in the rational – and irrational parts of everyday life. She has appeared in TV commercials and the Academy Award-nominated film American Splendor. Dice writes her own material and performs her own shows to national audiences. Her highly popular “Funny Women of the Bible” series is thought-provoking without being offensive. These solo shows are prized entertainment for all types of groups and organizations.</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR><STRONG>Dice’s comedy monologue won first place at the IMTA convention in Los Angeles and at two competitions in Ohio. She was named a finalist on “Detroit’s Fox2 News/Palace of Auburn Hills Comedy Competition” as well as “Ohio’s Funniest,” “Akron’s Funniest Person,” “California’s Funniest Female” and “The Next iBar Star St. Louis” competitions. </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><BR><STRONG>A contributor to many benefit shows for organizations such as the American Cancer Society, Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, Akron Fraternal Order of Police – just to name a few – Dice has also contributed jokes to Judy Brown’s joke books She’s So Funny, Squeaky Clean Comedy, and The Comedy Thesaurus. She also helped put Cleveland in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest running comedy show at Hilarities 4th Street Theatre.</STRONG></DIV>
