Always a pleasure to knock some dirty improv out of the park with these crazy ladies. Thanks to Daniel Chai and The Fictionals for inviting me to play Ladies Against Humanity. Oh god, the number of vagina jokes we did…
So much fun playing with Angela, Rae-Lyn, Clare, Margret, Ese, Denise and Alex. Everyone’s hair is so on point in this photo.
The ladies (and one guy) are heading to the East Coast of Canada for a mini-tour. Come join us and see if the set list gets longer than just Elvira, Options and Bell/Horn.

You know what makes the Irish laugh? Everything. Even before the show starts.
Got to perform the inaugural TheatreSports Ireland show thanks to this hard working fella, Darren Yorke of Grand Stretch Improv.
Got too drunk/excited to take a cast photo, but Darren joined me, Denise Jones, Michael Teigen, Dan Dumsha, Duane Keogh, and special guest Dave Keogh on guitar. Here are some of us, already drinking before the show started.
Oh man – this was the VERY last contract that Second City has with NCL. Due to a cast member’s family emergency, I got to swoop in for a week and get one last taste of that delicious sea life on the Norwegian Gem.
There were no better people in the world to get caught in a post-lobster roll Maine downpour than these beautiful maniacs.
Wrote the opening monologue for Anthony Anderson (“Blackish”), which he absolutely nailed.
Then he brought me on stage to give me kudos for writing it.
Who does that? This guys does.
(As you can tell by my goofy facial expression, I was NOT expecting that.)
So this was pretty damn great. I won the Sondra Kelly Award – which is a cash prize given to a women mid-career, who needs some moola to finish a project.
I won with my half-hour comedy, Given Up – about my gong-show life with adoption. The cash not only gives me some breathing room to finish a new version – but it also allowed me to fly out my co-creator Gary Jones. So he could watch me thank him in person.
Yes. I’m up there in bare feet. If you’re curious, these are the sexy new shoes I bought that were trying to murder me after an hour of mingling.
Thanks so much to the WGC and the legacy of Sondra Kelly.
Is there anything more fun that four wickedly hilarious women performing for a group of wickedly appreciative women? Yes. When there’s a guy on piano.
Thanks Jennine Proffeta, Karen Parker, Kevin J. Baker and our hilarious host Laurie Elliot.
I will never forget ‘Over-Sharon’ who pulled her entire skirt over her head while gyrating suggestively towards me.
Oh my home town of Maple Ridge got a face full of funny shit last night.
Things I learned from our Sex & The Suburbs Show on Saturday January 21st, 2017
What a crazy bunch o’ fun working on this show was. We shot four episodes in March of 2016, then CBC Comedy got involved and we shot another two in November.
Watch all six episodes HERE on the CBC Comedy website.
