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

Last night, I had a gig in Revelstoke with two lovely comedians. I had a cold when we left town, and it really decided to blossom into its own snotty monument to sickness by the time we got there.

But you didn’t come over to hear about my speeling*. I had a moment today where it started to sink in that my comedy fall/winter … Read More
Ode to a Mother in September
The kids went back to school. Every night lately, I think about all I will accomplish every day. Oh yes, I can see it clearly. I shall rise BEFORE the children wake so I can prepare them a nutritious, hot, healthy breakfast. Naturally, I will get a couple of loads of laundry done simultaneously. Magically, I will be showered and … Read More
