Less than two weeks away, I'm really excited for Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, Oregon. I'm obviously a little nervous about performing on shows with really good artists and also about being in huge claustrophobic crowds. But any anxiety is completely overshadowed by my joy and excitement that in the...

The other day I was at a huge (okay, normal-sized, okay, maybe small) party and I didn't really know a lot of the people there that well, so I started to feel really anxious and almost claustrophobic from the tension. I just kinda stood against a wall and didn't talk...

I feel like I've heard the word rape more in the last five years than ever in my life. Maybe in part that's because five years ago I was 20 and busy thinking about Harry Potter. But I think mostly it's because sexual violence is being discussed more, by politicians,...

On September 21st an article was published in Inside Higher Ed detailing a recent study showing that sexism exists in scientific industries. The studied described how scientific professionals, regardless of their own gender, often displayed a bias towards men. Many readers were outraged that sexism could exist even...

Don't google "Victim of Beauty," trust me. I saw someone posted it on twitter and looked it up. Google regaled me with images that made me dry heave. Maybe that was the point, to make us vomit enough to feel sick and weak and ergo utterly glamorous!

I'm really excited to get to go to New York this week to visit some friends and perform! June 7-11 marks the first annual New York Funny Songs Fest: a musical comedy festival in the lower eastside of New York City. My ukulele and I can't wait to go! (Yes...

After a few days of being back in Seattle, getting some normal sleep, and regressing to the state of quiet shut-in that Seattleites are designed for, I thought it was a good time to look back and reflect over the happenings of the Bridgetown Comedy Festival.

The Portland festival was...

Okay, second day down of the Bridgetown Comedy Festival! I just want to say how awesome and well produced and professional and perfectly detailed this whole ordeal is. The first show I went to was at the Eagle's Lodge with my friend the gorgeous and funny Maggie Maye from Austin....

Yay, I got here! I got to Portland Thursday for the Bridgetown Comedy Festival and as soon as I got here I got to run to see the tail end of my hero in comedy Maria Bamford performing. She is so amazing, smart, weird, talented, and one of the reasons...

Entering its fifth year of awesomeness, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival is bringing some hilarious comics to Portland, Oregon. I am so excited to go because some of my favorite comedians in the entire universe (not exaggerating) are going to perform. This year will feature Mary Lynn Rajskub, Todd...

After my set at the Comedy Studio, I rushed to the Longy School of Music to see Wendy Liebman headline at the Boston-based Women in Comedy Festival. Wendy has been one of my favorite comedians for a very long time so I was so excited to...

I was nervous for my show at the Women in Comedy Festival. Arriving to the venue on Barbara-time (half an hour early), I had plenty of time to scope out the world famous Comedy Studio in Harvard square. It was on the third floor of a Hong Kong restaurant and...

I'm so excited to return to Boston for the Women in Comedy festival. Last year it was a wonderful experience. It gave rise to the feminist inside of me with a fiery phoenix-like birth. I love seeing hilarious women supporting each other personally and artistically.

Straddling March 21-25, the...
