I stepped on-stage to do standup comedy for the first time on March 31, 1992. It changed my life. I’ve felt the rush of a standing ovation and crush of seething disdain; the latter making me want to go home and start filling out law school applications. But I’ve also been humbled by that audience member who has sought me out after a show to hug me, shake my hand, look me in the eye, and tell me they’ve just lost their job or a loved one, and more than anything in the world they needed to laugh and I helped them do that. It is no small thing to know that pursuing my joy in life has sometimes brought joy to others.
I’ve written a book essays, a memoir about my professional and personal journey through life on and off stage called Real Women Do it Standing Up: Stories From the Career of a Very Funny Lady. Readers have said:
*It's funny and fascinating to get an insider's view of a job most of us wouldn't
and couldn't do, sprinkled with gentle observations, hilarious situations, and universal insights.* *I really enjoyed this book and found it inspirational! If you've ever considered stand-up, it's a must read!* *Witty and unexpectedly vulnerable. Guaranteed laughs and wistful smiles. Perfection.*
And so, on Monday, 11/27 EST, I'll be doing my first ever Cyber Monday Book Deal! For 24-hours ONLY I'm offering $5 off of an autographed copy of my book, Real Women! I hope you'll read, laugh, and enjoy my journey.
