Hope Flood's
6th
Annual Comics Rock!
CONVENTION
Renowned comedienne Hope Flood brought back to the stage her 4th Annual Comics Rock! Convention, which was held in Los Angeles, California on April 23rd through April 26th. The event brought together a diverse group of profound talent, from upcoming to veteran stand ups. Flood, founder of Females in Comedy Association (FICA), first launched her comedy convention a few years ago as the "Females in Comedy Convention." Since then she has expanded her vision to embrace both males and females; however, she continues to offer female comedians tools for networking, mentoring and collaborating, as well as fueling awareness for comediennes in the entertainment industry,
the entertainment industry, through FICA. Comics Rock! will honor females in comedy with a special day of gifting and pampering. "Comedy on stage and in life is a crucial component for happiness," cites Flood. "This year's convention is particularly special as we acknowledge all things funny, but also all things crucial to survival in this ever changing business. It is especially heart-warming for me to pay tribute to pioneer and icon, Dick Gregory. As a guide and mentor, it is his work and dedication that drives me to continue to present this convention year after year." Workshops and seminars were also held at comedian/radio
