It's tough when teenager schedules make the difference in whether your set will suck or not. Other comics will be there though - and they'll be hilarious. 6:30 pm doors open/7 show starts …
Snarfles and tired and barfs – oh my!
Don't you just love winter with its ever-changing fabric of kid illnesses? Today marks Day 6 of the Kid Sick at Home Crisis. SO grateful my daughter's illness isn't serious after all, but there were some scary moments: high fever, rashes. The fever caused her to hallucinate, screaming at a picture on the wall: "That …
When did Valentine’s turn into “Valoween?”
What happened to TLA (true love always), secret notes and sticky Valentine's cards? My kids came home with buckets of candy to rival Halloween. MARS candy, Hershey's, they're all in on it.

Giving moms a break
Getting ready to head to the coast with fellow mom comic Betsy Kauffman to perform for a group of moms who have kids with cancer.

Daniel Craig is mine and you can’t have him
We love Bond movies - cheesy ones, campy ones, flashy ones. We used to be diehard Sean Connery was the best ever until Casino Royale came out. Daniel Craig had me at "Hello?
