Her answer is her new show the All-Nude College-Girl Revue, or why I can't pass the vetting at Cornelia Street Cafe Downstairs on Monday, July 13, 2009. Drawing on her colorful past, Lisa takes the audience on an hilarious journey. From growing up in a test site for cable telelvision, through her jobs as a stripping, Penthouse phone sex, jail and lawsuits, she's outrageous, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. It all adds up to an evening of sophisticated, fun entertainment.

Synopsis:
How to Be a Bad Girl: Through the character of Dr. Faith, accompanied by the gifted Mistress Ethel (Ellen Mandel) on piano, Lisa gives the "411 on romance, love and security in this entertaining off-the-wall performance" (Time-Out New York). Updating with the latest current events and highlighting the 7 ½ secrets of how to be a bad girl with a riding crop, maracas and witty original songs, such as "How To Be A Bad Girl" and "the Fellatio Tango", this "outrageously funny" (Newyorkcool.com) seminar "is fun for wives, for husbands, for everybody" (Pagina 12). Drawing on her colorful experiences, working as a stripper to pay her way through graduate school at the London School of Economics, and her background in stand-up comedy and music, Lisa weaves topical humor and song into a clever, thought-provoking and ultimately touching show. Part comedy, part cabaret, part two-woman theater piece, it all adds up to an evening of sophisticated, fun entertainment.
