Cheril Vendetti, gay stand-up comic and queen of Italian cuisine, coming to Kansas City

Cheril Vendetti wants you to eat something.

​What do you mean you’ve never heard of kid-noli? Even Paula Deen has heard of kid-noli, because comedienne Cheril Vendetti posted a video of herself — in a clown costume, no less — making a recipe for a child-friendly cannoli on the Real Women of Philadelphia website. It’s an online cooking competition sponsored by Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese and featuring Southern cooking icon Paula Deen.

“Paula picked my video as one of her favorites,” says Vendetti, who will appear in Kansas City on Sunday, December 19 doing her stand-up act at the Eighteen22 Ultra Lounge at 1822 Main Street.

She’ll be selling her cookbook too.
