"I wish she did drugs, so there was an explanation for her behavior." -Traci’s motherThe self proclaimed love child of Cher and Klinger, Traci Kanaan grew up in Berea, Ohio, a quiet middle class community on Cleveland’s west side. Her Italian mother loved opera, dance and theater. Her Lebanese father loved stock car racing, flea markets, and dirty jokes. Traci combined these influences to make a comedy yard sale...with music. You’ve seen it before...but not on display like this!
Influences
Weird Al Yankovic, Paula Poundstone, Michael Mack, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Drew Carey, Ron White and Ellen Degeneres.

My parents - for thinking outside of the box, and working towards a lifestyle that they knew was attainable but hadn't experienced growing up.
My husband - for his desire to learn, for his insight and ability to evaluate situations, for his discipline to pursue his dreams, and for his endless encouragement and patience.
My father in law - who has shown me you may never be to old to fly upside down.
Ayn Rand whose writings illustrate the importance of why everyone should engage in and encourage the pursuit of excellence, and how those who don't screw it up for the rest of us.
