After a sold-out tour from Dublin, Ireland to the Washington D.C. Fringe Festival of her popular self-help parody 7 ½ Habits of Highly Successful Mistresses, the musical, comedian and former stripper Lisa Faith Phillips was sued in Utah by the FranklinCovey Corporation, owner of the trademark 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Now banned in Utah, she’s back with her new “outrageously funny” (newyorkcool) show: How to Be a Bad Girl. Drawing on her colorful past, Lisa takes the audience on a hilarious journey. From growing up in Findlay, Ohio, a test site for cable television, through her jobs as a stripper and a voice on the Penthouse phone sex line to a night in jail and the lawsuit, her stories are laugh-out-loud funny. Filled with vivid characters, outrageous and poignant, “the audience surrenders to her charm” Hi Drama MNN Cable. How to Be a Bad Girl adds up to an evening of sophisticated, fun entertainment.
Off-The-Wall!
"Part cabaret, part one-woman show, comedian and former stripper Lisa Faith Phillips gives you the 411 on getting the romance, love and security you think you deserve in this off-the-wall performance, which is structured like a motivational lecture and includes such original songs as "The Fellatio Tango". About Town, Time Out New York
Raves for past shows:
A close comparison to Goldie Hawn I thought, this performer was outrageously funny and successfully cunning. Devilishly clever and wildly entertaining….every line demanded a boisterous laugh. She exudes inherent fun like a bottle of champagne. Uplifting and unpredictable, Lisa Faith Phillips should have delivered the damn State of the Union Address this year.

With a riding crop in one hand, and a feather boa in the other, Dr. Faith lectures, satirizes and sings her way into our psyche. In her charismatic way, Dr. Faith engages the audience with her witticisms and quips, citing current events. Her take on the “axis of evil” suggests a double entendre worthy of exploring! A semi-psychotic break later in the show leads into a hysterical, over the top Broadway tunes tribute. Highlighting other steps, Dr. Faith delivers lovely songs of love & belonging. The audience surrenders to her charm in the number “Let’s Just Keep Falling in Love”. Visit Dr. Faith for a session. Learning to be a mistress has never been more entertaining or effective!

This hilarious seminar is fun for wives, for husbands, for everybody!
