Hey Boston, Check Out Comedian @HeatherFink This Weekend

Hey folks,

Starting this weekend one of my favorite funny people will be bringing the ruckus to various Boston comedy spots. I met Heather a few months back doin the Ultimate Gossip Girl Summit IV (hosted by the awesome Sara Benincasa), and she's hilarious. She does awesome characters and is just very unique.


So Boston, roll out and see her at one of the following spots


Sun 8/9 8pm @ The Comedy Studio in Harvard Square
Mon 8/10 8pm @ Underground Comedy at Cantab Lounge 738 Massachusetts Ave (also with Chris Coxen and Robby Roadsteamer. Hilarial!!)
Tues 8/11 9:30pm @ The Rob Crean Show - O’Briens, corner of Harvard and Cambridge, 3 Harvard Ave (with another favorite of mine, Josh Gondelman!)

Below is Heather's email signature. I just had to share it. I'm telling you, she's funny.

Thank you for your time, I really feel like I have what it takes to be  an asset to you.  I feel that my leadership, quantitative, analytical  and communication skills will further your ability to share our  likeminded goals of making high quality hosiery targeted at the needs  of mature women  - the highest quality possible.  I look forward to meeting with you in person.

Sincerely,
Heather Fink
