Arch rivals Nene Leakes & Wendy Williams are hitting the road...but not together.  Get deets on their dueling one-woman shows inside...

Talk show host Wendy Williams and her rival Nene Leakes ("To Tell The Truth") are both hoping to place their stamp on the stand-up comedy circuit...though they'll be "sitting down".  Check out deets on their upcoming shows....

 

We've received an exciting announcement from Wendy Williams' team...she's branching out and hitting the road with "The ‘Sit Down Tour…Too Real For Stand Up" where she'll appear in 12 cities across The U.S. with her signature brand of chat, gossip and storytelling.

Thu, July 30 Milwaukee, WI Riverside Theater

Sat, August 1 Kansas City, MO Midland Theatre
Thu, August 6 Memphis, TN Orpheum Theatre

And...

Catchphrase queen Nene Leakes is also hitting the stage. She announced her upcoming tour via her website with the post “So Nasty So Rude” 1 woman show is coming to a city near you #gonnakillthestage #giftofgab #gettingbacktome."

The Daily Mail reports that Nene has been actively recruiting talented writers and comedians to help her craft her show, but as far we know, details about the show are scarce.  TheYBF.com reached out to Nene's team and were informed that they're not at liberty to discuss the "details" of "So Nasty So Rude" but as soon as we get a lineup (and the tea) we'll let you know. 

SIDEBAR - A few weeks ago team Nene and team Wendy allegedly had a nasty encounter during a women's conference in Atlanta. SMH...we hope Nene's team makes sure she and Wendy are in the same venue or space at the same time again.
