She’s a stand-up comedienne who’s made a name for herself performing at festivals across the UK and Australia, not to mention her appearances on late-night TV talk shows. As one of the standout moments in her career, she reached the finals of NBC’s Last Comic Standing during its second season back in 2004—a major milestone that helped put her on the map. Before all the spotlight and laughter, though, life looked a bit different. She was actually a standout athlete in high school, which is impressive given her shorter stature, proving early on that she had both drive and determination. Her comedy journey began in the St. Louis area, where she spent countless nights testing out material at open mic events, slowly refining her voice. Coming from a big Irish family in Florissant, Missouri, she was one of seven children—growing up in a lively household that likely gave her plenty of material for her routines. And throughout it all, she stayed focused, using every experience as fuel to build her career. She really has come a long way—from local clubs to national stages—and continues to make an impact with her sharp wit and relatable storytelling.
She went on two ISO tours, bringing laughter and entertainment to American soldiers stationed overseas. During these trips, she shared the stage with fellow comedian Lewis Black and musician Kellie Pickler, creating memorable performances that lifted spirits across different bases. She really connected with the troops, showing her support through humor and music, and those tours became a significant part of her journey. She proved time and again that her presence could make a difference, and she did it all with authenticity and heart.
