“Women of the Night 2: Comedy for Valentine’s Day” will be performed on Saturday, February 14, in the town hall’s 525-seat theater, 45 Main Street. Showtime is 8:30 and tickets are $20 to $30. Sharing the bill with Ms Kahaney will be Carie Karavas, Pat Candaras, and Peaches Rodrigues.

This show is not limited to women, however: it’s a show designed to laugh with your lover.

“Even if we do some slight nudging or teasing of men, its all in good fun. I think for the most part the four of us are very fond of men,” Cory Kahaney said last week from her home in New York. “The underlying message is we need you a lot more than we’re willing to admit.”

Her comedy flower has blossomed into her starring in her own Comedy Central Presents Corey Kahaney comedy special along with appearances on The Late Late Show, Tough Crowds with Colin Quinn, Politically Incorrect, and she was the comedy coach on Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom in America 3. She is currently featured on the Next Food Networks Star, broadcast on Sundays at 10.

Ms Kahaney is also the brainchild behind The J.A.P. Show, which ran off-Broadway for six months and is now touring under the name The Jewish Princesses of Comedy. The show features live standup routines by four female Jewish comics, including Kahaney originally, juxtaposed with stories of legendary performers from the 1950s and 60s.

“We couldn’t get enough people to get past the Jewish Princesses connotation,” she said in explaining the name change for a show that explores some of the first females in the comedy spotlight. “It was one of my babies. It was just coincidental that some of the first women who stood in front of the mic to tell comedy were Jewish. [Jackie “Moms”] Mabley was the only one who wasn’t. We looked at the history, and how they did it, and were so brave. It was a lot of fun [to create and perform in the show].”

These days Kahaney continues to use her own life as the basis for her comedy.

“It’s almost guaranteed that the audience will not like it if I try to make things up,” says the mother of two — a 22-year-old daughter in college and a 2-year-old son in diapers.

“I had a mellow but easy baby girl when I was young and then had a boy who bounces off the walls when I was older. I’m sure my daughter will have twins when I’m an old lady and then I’m really in trouble,” she said with a laugh before adding, “But it’s fun. It definitely keeps me going.”

Like most stand-up routines not everything that comes out of Kahaney’s mouth is absolutely the full truth, “but everything is based on a grain of truth that I blow out of proportion,” she said.

Valentine’s Day will be the perfect time for Ms Kahaney to put on a show.

“It’s the same thing for all of us, men or women: at the core we all want one thing, to be loved,” she said. “That’s why I do standup, I need to be loved. By hundreds of people. Every night.”

Tickets will be $20 for balcony seating, $25 for the lower level, and $30 for VIP seating on the first three rows for an 8:30 show time.

Tickets can be purchased online at TreehouseComedy.com or by calling 268-5857. Doors open at 7:30 the night of the show, and remaining tickets will be sold at the box office beginning at 6:30.
