INSULT ME - Joan Rivers shocks the crowd Saturday night by labeling her fur stole 'Spike,' and referring to it as her anorexic dog. 'The big red box,' as Rivers described the MCA, was barely half-full for the performance.

Joan Rivers, famous for her work as an awards show fashion critic, performed a comedy act at the Maine Center for the Arts on Saturday night to kick off Women’s Week here at the University of Maine.

Fans who remember Rivers from her Emmy Award-winning talk show came out to enjoy the performance.

The audience laughed as she spoke in her signature voice, making fun of several different aspects of modern society, members of the audience, and issues such as gynecologists, fashion and politics.

The event was sponsored in part by Eastern Maine Healthcare, WLBZ-TV, the YWCA of Bangor and the Bangor Daily News.
