Remember that 'lil bully Nellie Oleson? Yeah you do. She resided on the prairie, her parents owned a general store and she was the richest kid in the village with a pretty serious mean streak. Well, she grew up and lives in the future now with the rest of us...as a comic!
That's right, Nellie (Alison Arngrim in "real life") is a comic, and ready to give us some storytelling and stand-up about her life as pre-teen meanie in Confessions of a Prairie Bitch. She'll let some secrets loose about "Little House on the Prairie", Hollywood and whatever else happened in her former child star life. Vh1 should totally do a "Behind the Petticoat and Ringlets" special.
May 12th and 13th // 8pm // The Cutting Room [19 West 24th] // $20
