She noticed the lack of female comedians in New York City and turned to stand-up comedy, where she has flourished for over three decades. Her observational and non- obscene style not only worked for her, but propelled her to stardom. She has appeared on several HBO specials as well as The Tonight Show and Late Night with David Letterman. This will be a wonderful afternoon of fun and funny entertainment.
