The Boomer Broads are a vibrant trio of female comedians delivering smart, sassy, and family-friendly humor that celebrates the absurdities of everyday life. Known for their clean comedy style, reminiscent of Dry Bar Comedy’s profanity-free YouTube specials, the Broads connect with audiences—especially baby boomers and beyond—through witty, relatable stories about family, relationships, and aging with attitude. In their second year, the core group of three women, often joined by guest performers, proves that “Funny Never Gets Old,” as founder Leslie Norris Townsend envisioned when she formed this touring troupe.
Leslie Norris Townsend brings over 20 years of stage experience to the Boomer Broads. Her routines hilariously explore married life, parenting, and life’s unexpected twists, delivered with
