Who Are We?
The idea of women performing comedy at a piano-less
bar may be more reminiscent of Midnight
at the Garden of Good and Evil, but Seattle author Rebecca
Well’s Divine Secrets of the Ya
Ya Sisterhood model of women helping each other friend to
friend sets the tone for the Ha Ha Sisterhood. 
The Divine Order of the Ha Ha Sisterhood most
definitely embodies its Cajun tagline, "Laissez les bon temps
roulez" or as they say outside Louisiana, "Let the good
times roll."
Although George W. Bush says OB-GYNs are unable “to
practice their love with women across the country,” here in Seattle
– far from the bayous and jambalaya of Louisiana parishes —
The Ha Ha Sisterhood is a practice of love for female comics. In various
venues around the Pacific Northwest, The Divine Order of the Ha Ha Sisterhood
“lets the good times roll.” It’s a place where a woman's
point of view is welcomed and encouraged, not just tolerated.
The Ha Ha Sisterhood is a loose association (structure
wise, not morally) of women comedians helping each other. Our purpose
is to promote and support female comedians and to provide quality
entertainment.
The Divine Order has been performing in the Seattle
area since 2003 — and has become known as a place to showcase rising
stars and comic veterans. From the beginning, the Ha Ha Sisterhood shows
began to shake up standup comedy's Old Boy Network. The shows are designed
to mix newer comics with the more experienced working comics as mentors
in a supportive arena. The styles are as varied as the performers themselves
with material ranging from squeaky clean to blue and everything in between.
The unique marketing efforts of the Ha Ha Sisterhood
shows also help to bring a new audience to enjoy live comedy which
hopefully benefits the Brethren Comics as well. The Ha Ha Sisterhood
shows certainly dispel the myth that women aren't funny as time
after time we play to packed houses and rave reviews.
