Caroline Hirsch. Maybe you don't know her name, but you know the people whose careers she launched Chapel, Tracy Morgan, Seinfeld—the list goes on. And she did it at what has become the most famous comedy club in the world, Carolines Comedy Club in New York City’s Time Square. She started it 35 years ago, long before #MeToo, when the business of comedy was dominated by men. The comics were mostly men, and pretty much all the business executives calling the shots were men.

The Red Light Podcast is comprised of Christine Meehan, Ricki Sofer, Gina Savage and Tiffany Collado. The four women found themselves thrust together each week in the subterranean underbelly of the Greenwich Village Comedy Club discussing comedy (go figure), comedians, pop culture, men, sex, politics, love, life...and death. A natural, flowing rapport developed; with each woman bringing her own unique background, perspective and experience to the subject matter. It was mutually decided to take these weekly conversations to a wider forum. The result is The Red Light podcast which features all of the above topics and special guests (with special needs :) ). Our Bios: Christine Meehan is a stand-up and sketch comedian who got her start telling jokes in funky smelling rooms in Philadelphia. Now living in New York, Christine now has a serious fear of hookers, germs, and her mother. Despite these fears, she has written, produced and starred such sketch comedies as Akin to Rape & Paula's Pimpin' Pantry. A child of severely Republican parents, Christine had quite the proper small-town, conservative upbringing in Delaware but has been a contributor for the severely liberal Borderless News and Views. Her mom hates that. Joe Biden might think she has special needs. Christine has been seen at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and clubs all over New York City. She only truly finds magic while blowing her shoulders out coaching really large children gymnastics because God took her too literally when she asked to uplift America's youth. She hopes one day 'Merica will change, and stop eating entirely. Ricki Sofer is a stand up comedian currently living in New York City. Ricki started her comedy career in Los Angeles and has performed at the Hollywood Improv, Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, Ha Ha club & The Ice House Comedy club. She has written her own column for Shavua Israeli- the most recognized Jewish mag in LA. Originally from Israel, Ricki is a graduate of Emek Izrael Film School and served in the Israeli military police in a special unit which allowed her to wear her own pink clothing line instead of the dreadful army uniform. She speaks English with a pretty good American accent, which confuses her audience, until her world views make it clear that she's definitely not from here. She talks about life situations that most people never encounter and definitely don't want to. Comparing where she came from to living in La La Land made her realize how an American life makes for a really good joke. Gina Savage is an actress, comic, producer & talent manager with a rich history in the entertainment business. Beginning in 1996 , she served as an assistant to Caroline Hirsch and Louis Faranda at Carolines. From there, she was recruited by Barry Katz to book and manage his highly regarded Boston Comedy Club. Later, Savage ventured into television production; working on reality shows "The Apprentice" and "The Contender". Today, Savage manages Al Martin's Broadway Comedy Club, Greenwich Village Comedy Club and New York Comedy Club. In her spare time (what spare time?) this native new yorker enjoys going to museums, walks in the park, strolls on the beach, Dalai Lama quotes and your undivided attention. Tiffany Collado may appear small and non-threatening, but challenge her to anything dealing with comedy and she's sure to shut most anyone down with her knowledge of the biz. Being a huge comedy fan and a waitress in the business for 5 years she's now chosen to pursue comedy herself. Her demeanor is aggressive, but that just stems from short bitch problems. Meh.
