Fans of this site may recall Iliza Shlesinger from the Women of the Web 2 special in which G4TV announced Action Flick Chick Katrina as their first Next Woman of the Web competition winner. Plenty of you already knew Iliza from her TheStream.tv series The Weakly News and many will remember when she beat everyone else in season 6 of Last Comic Standing (think Survivor for stand-up comics but without eating as many rats). Nick, Katrina’s co-creator on The Action Chick webcomic, has called Iliza the perfect woman – smart, funny, beautiful.
Iliza was the first woman to win the Last Comic Standing competition, the youngest winner ever, the last winner so far, and – according to Iliza – Action Flick Chick Katrina’s best friend.;)
Want to see Iliza perform on stage? For April Fool’s Day, we’re giving away tickets to see Iliza Shlesinger and Kyle Cease at the club Comix in New York City. (Thanks, Comix!)
Showtimes: April 1, 2, 3. (Times vary.)
Showplace: Comix. New York City. http://www.comixny.com
We’re giving away four tickets (2 pairs) – one pair to the first person to answer items 1-2 correctly and one pair to a random person who does so by the end of the day on Monday (Central time).
Value:
$48.00 would be the advance sales price per pair.
Obviously you need to be in New York on one of those dates to use the tickets. Winners will transport themselves and will be responsible for 2-drink minimums. If you won’t be around the Big Apple at the time, maybe you know someone who will.
The Contest Questions:
1. Name any television program she has appeared on other than Last Comic Standing.
2. What would you ask Iliza if you got the chance? There’s probably no wrong answer to this one as long as Katrina deems it a real question.
Here are a few of the questions Katrina would ask Iliza (not the questions we’re asking you):
* In Last Comic Standing, the others kept attacking and you kept kicking ass. How did you feel being the girl the guys kept challenging? Empowered, scared, offended, flattered?
* Stuntwomen I’ve spoken with have said the hardest part of their field is having to keep finding work. I would think that’s often true for stand-up comics as well. Winning Last Comic Standing has surely improved that situation for you. What’s the hardest part of the job these days?
* With this site being about movies and not just ass-kicking women, I have to ask: What movies do you like most?
Answer as comments in response to this blog post. Answers will be held in moderation until some time later on Monday. By Tuesday we’ll announce the winners.

1. Loved her in the Lewis Black holiday special on TV last year, so I guess that would count as another TV appearance.
2. I would love to ask her where she grew up. I know, it’s kind of a lame question, but I just can’t place whether she’s east or west coast, so I’m curious. Middle America? I would be really surprised.
