www.elkwaterlakelodge.com This weekend’s accommodations were so beautiful it was akin to winning the road lottery. Every questionable motel I’ve stayed in for the past several years was worth it to get to stay here once. I stayed in the Cypress Hills area of Southeastern Alberta at the magnificent Elkwater Lake Lodge. Elkwater is a tiny town. It took five minutes … Read More
NO F-BOMBS!
Hi loveheads, It’s corporate season in the World of Comedy. Corporates can be amazing. Even when they’re not, the paycheque heals any residual pain. Outside a corporate last weekend, I was chatting to a man who worked for “the company.” He was asking about doing comedy and if corporates were good gigs. Being Positive Patsy, I said yes, then I … Read More
THE ROAD
Last weekend, I drove to Brandon, Manitoba for three lovely nights of gigging. The roads, I could do without. A shwack of a snowstorm hit hard on Wednesday. We were due to leave Thursday morning early to make the 11 hour road trip to Brandon. My husband suggested we get a head start Wednesday night. Did I mention he’s very … Read More

Hey lovelies! I have a crashing ear infection and am currently drugged up on Tylenol 3s. What better time to blog, right? Toronto: seriously, more amazing than I could’ve imagined. The best and most touching part was the love. There are many generous, talented, kind and extraordinary people in this world who happen to be comedians. There was one morning … Read More

Hi loveheads,I just got home from my Toronto area tour a couple of hours ago and immediately took one of my boys out trick or treating. The trip was amazing and I have honorable intentions of writing masterful masterpieces about it here. Stay tuned to see if it happens. This broad doesn’t normally gig 11 nights in a row! Zzzzzz!Love,Lori

Intellectually, I knew I’d enjoy Toronto. Now I have the proof. However, I shouldn’t give the city all the credit. It’s the kind friends in it that have made it a joy thus far. I’m one lucky broad. Love,Lori

I’m going to Toronto on Wednesday to do shows at the Niagara & Vaughan Yuk Yuks and several open mikes in Toronto. I am excited, nervous, fluttery, daunted, determined and giddy. I hope I’m funny East of home. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing people (mostly comedians) from Toronto over the past few years that I … Read More
I’M NOT A STALKER
On Thursday and Saturday, I was tickled to be the MC at Calgary Yuk Yuk for headliner, Iliza Shlesinger. She won a little show called Last Comic Standing in 2008. First woman to win. Youngest winner ever. I had the good luck to meet her earlier this year at Yuk Yuks and I so enjoyed her. Getting to work with … Read More
COMEDY 4 CAMBODIA

They build schools for the poor, the forgotten, the neglected, and the orphaned. The carpenters … Read More
