There has never been a show like the Bessie & Beulah show! It is one hour of the most raucous, fun interaction since Mama on the Carol Burnett show. Bessie & Beulah have audiences standing, singing, dancing, and howling at their "stress-relievers", everything from movies to money to mothers-in-law. These feisty, malapropping ladies even have the chief executives of companies up on stage doing a rap to Men in Black. The startlingly ending, where Bessie & Beulah transform themselves into the lovely Becky and Katie, always generates delighted gasps of surprise. Becky Baker and Katie Blackburn have been performing the Bessie & Beulah show nationwide for the past l6 years. They have shared the platform with Barbara Bush, Paul Harvey and Dan Quayle in Tennessee, performed for Boeing Corporation engineers in Los Angeles, and taken their audience though an "autobody experience" at the National Auto Body Congress and Exposition in Dallas. They performed a Christmas show for the surgeons at the Palomar Medical Center, where doctors were so enthralled they demanded the women come back for a question-and-answer period. Other clients include Chevrolet, Kaiser Permanente, Servicemaster, Salvation Army, the San Diego District Attorney's office, Teen Challenge, and Executive Women International. It is a show that EVERYBODY loves. Dottie Walters says, "These ladies are the funniest comedy show we have seen in many a moon." The charm is that in addition to being hilarious, these women work hard doing their homework to customize and personalize the show, getting names of audience members and their background faux pas to include in the show, along with slogans or inside jokes that the meeting planner gives them. Recently they performed at a three-day international event at the Crystal Cathedral. In the middle of their last performance they intercepted a "cell phone call" from Dr. Robert Schuller, and got on his case for interrupting them, telling him that this was THEIR Hour of Power, not his. Brought the house down. At the end of the event, the audience gave them a rousing standing ovation. Becky and Katie have been best friends for 29 years, and came up with the idea through their theater work with Lamb's Players in San Diego and SAK Theatre, performed at Renaissance Faires and Disney's Epcot Center. In addition to the Bessie & Beulah show, they do training seminars on laughter and humor. They recently taped a TV pilot for another project of theirs -- a nationally syndicated talk show. Audiences love participating and laughing at themselves. The result, according to Tricia Chase of Chase Productions, is one of the most clever, funny shows on the road. "I have never known of a female comedy duo, let alone one with such a new and original show," she says. "Your material is perfect for any mixed crowd." |

enjoyed your comedy act. You completely took them
by surprise when you busted in teh room during
their morning meeting. It was great the way you
both personalized your routine for our group. I
think our clients and employees were really
suprised when you called them by name and knew
things about them that most people wouldn't know.
We received a lot of positive feedback regarding
the show." "It
has now been three weeks since our conference, and
I wanted to just let you know once again how much
