Unwilling Doppelganger!

Here's the poster at that led to middle-aged ladies to whisper to their friends "she's one of the comeeeedians" when I was in the bathroom at Three Rivers Casino.
We had a good time playing for a sold-out ballroom, and only one of us was asked to cover her bodacious chest, because it was a wholesome, family gambling and drinking environment and not a common brothel. What she was wearing would not raise an eyebrow in Portland, and of course in her home state of California it would have been considered formal wear. We remarked that no-one had talked to us about dress code since highschool. However, we still had a great show.
Now, some time ago it was remarked to me that I look like Kristen Schaal, the cute and extremely funny Mel from Flight of the Conchords. I don't agree, merely because she has curly hair and I have my own chin.
But I guess it's a little true, because no fewer than five people asked if I had been on the Daily Show recently. I don't see it, but maybe I could get work as a Schaal understudy or body double, especially if she found herself eating a lot of cookies.

Mother's Day Comedy!

This weekend, I'm doing shows for two different kinds of "family"- Friday night I am at C.C. Slaughter's, headlining and lording it over Gabe Dinger, Cody Smith, Casey Kendall, and Cody Cooper, with the very funny, very foxy Veronica Heath hosting. It's free and starts at 9! Check out the interesting ad in the Portland Mercury, page 41!

On Saturday, anyone with a mother should come down to Three Rivers Casino for a spectacular show of family-friendly laughs, including the legendary Susan Rice, hilarious Lisa Myers, the funny song stylings of the Free-Range Chix, and comedy writer and performer Leigh Anne Jasheway-Bryant!

Postscript: Despite the fact that it had nothing to do with me, I was thrilled to hear that this show has sold out and has 50 people on a waiting list! I know it's all about Lady Susan Rice!

Curiouser and Curiouser...

I have a tiny hand

In a world of increasingly obscure and specific gigs, I am excited to report a real doozy. I will be performing at the second annual Oregon Women's Comedy Festival on Saturday, November 3rd in Eugene, OR, so I am pressuring you to attend if at least two of below are true:

1. You are a woman

2. You like funny things

3. You live near Eugene.

I'm very excited to be asked, if only to share the roster with former Oregonian Lisa Myers and the always hilarious Susan Rice, and I've been told that if I'm good, there's the very real possibility that I'll get a t-shirt with my name on it. Let's face it, I'm easy. The festival includes writing workshops and a comedy show on the campus of Lane Community College.

If you don't qualify on the above three, please do plan to come cheer for me at the Portland Mercury's PIZZAZZ talent show on Friday, October 26th! I can guarantee you: you've never seen anything quite like my act, unless you can see into my dreams.

In other news, I am excited to announce that the amazing Susan Rice is a finalist in the Lucky 21 contest at http://www.ziddio.com/. Please sign up, click on "contests", check out her comedy and vote vote vote until October 21st!
