Performing Art – Cincinnati

I started doing comedy at the tender age of 18 (1998) on a dare. My best friend told me that I should go to an open mike night at a local club, Go Bananas Comedy Club, and she’d bring people to come see me. I called her bluff and she brought half of our high school senior class! I had never experienced that amount of emotional terror in my life, and almost walked out and drove home. But, I stayed, and fell in love instantly. I have been so incredibly blessed over the years to have been surrounded by such talent and to have had all of the opportunities that have been given to me throughout my comedy career. I have graced the stage with comedians such as Damon Wayans, Margaret Cho, Bruce Daniels, Melanie Huxell, Cathy Lewis, B.T, Bob Marley, Jay London, Jeff Jena, Josh Sneed and Greg Warren, just to name a few. I have also worked with the successful Ohio based sketch comedy troop, Damn Handsome Men. I live for comedy and it comes from my heart. I incorporate all forms of comedy in my act; Improv, music, dance and story telling. The time, energy and dedication to the craft of comedy, shines through in my performances every time I’m on stage.
