Honey's Birthday Brunch with Ella & Honey
Honey turns 35 on October 11, and she is spending the actual day right where she should be — on stage, slightly worse for wear, and absolutely not slowing down.
Fresh from the party the night before, Honey takes the brunch stage alongside Ella Lamoureux for a morning of laughs, good food, and the particular glory of a birthday that refuses to end. Come eat, come cheer, come see what she has left in the tank.
