I have been spreading laughter all over the US for over 10 years and am conquering LA! I have performed anywhere from dive bars to the prestigious Comedy Store. Originally from Cincinnati, OH. I grew up around a very funny family! Growing up around OCD, gay men and hot tempers make great material for any aspiring comedian, holla back! I started doing comedy at the tender age of 18, on a dare. My best friend told me that I should go to an open mic night at a local club, and she’d bring people to come see me. I called her bluff and she brought half of our senior class! I had never experienced that amount of emotional terror since the Spice Girls had broken up! Now in LA, my comedy dreams are coming true, I got to perform with my idol, Mz. Margaret cho! I have been just incredibly blessed over the years being surrounded by the talent I have and all of the opportunities I have been given through comedy. I have graced the stage with comedians; Damon Wayans, Bruce Daniels, Melanie Huxell, Margaret Cho, Kate Rigg, Cathy Lewis, B.T, Dan Grueter, Bob Marley, Bill Word, Jeff Jena, Josh Sneed and Greg Warren to name a few. I have also worked with, the successful Ohio based sketch comedy troop, Damn Handsome Men. First and foremost I live for comedy and my high energy and dedication to the craft and the audience truly reflects that! See ya at the clubs!

My two biggest, Margaret Cho & Ellen Degenerous! They ARE the reasons I got started in stand-up! They are my teachers and storytellers. I learned everything by watching these two amazing comedians!

About me: I am a 27 year old comedian in every sense of the word. I'm transplant from the lovely luxurious Cincinnati, Ohio. I have been a comedian for many, many years and am loving it! I was also in the featured; Damn Handsome Men comedy troop, performing all over the US! Comedy is my life. If it's not funny, lord, I will twist it until I see fit!

I moved here to LA with the love of my life and could not have imagined being more happy! If you want to see a fresh, how it is, original, foul mouthed gal with a midwest twist!
