2014 Lima’s Funniest Lady Comedy Festival
Three days of comedy in celebration of Phyllis Diller Day in Lima, Ohio.
Lima, Ohio: In July of 2013, Limaland Comedy requested to the mayor and city council of Lima that July 17th should be forever known as Phyllis Diller Day. That request was granted. This year is the second annual Lima’s Funniest Lady Comedy Festival and it has increased to three days in just one year’s time. Each event is created to celebrate laughter and raise funds to benefit Limaland Comedy’s goal of creating a Phyllis Diller exhibit in the Lima/Allen County museum.
“This year we are focusing on something for everybody,” says Limaland Comedy owner Gina Chiappazzi. “We have professional stand-up comedy at one of the classiest restaurants in town. We even have an Ohio comedian performing a spot-on Phyllis Diller on her birthday.”
“We’re doing this for the community and the people of Lima,” says local comedian Joe Deez. “Every show is guaranteed to make you laugh and has been created to raise awareness and funds for a Phyllis Diller exhibit right here in her hometown.”
