Comedienne
PANICKY . . . NEUROTIC . . . PREMENOPAUSAL
Laurie
was chosen to have a video clip on NBC'S WEBSITE OF “LAST
COMIC STANDING” - quite an honor, as thousands of comedians
have auditioned. Look for her video on NBC.COM, “Last Comic
Standing”.
Somewhat naïve and in love with her audiences, Laurie leaves people laughing as they step into her misunderstandings and quirky observations about menopause, age, weight, physical flaws, her husband Marvin, her parents and so much more. Laurie grew up in LA and her father, a song writer, played the piano and ukulele. A few years ago, Laurie took up the ukulele to write parodies for her act. In any case, it was a hobby which kept her from driving around medicated.
In Spokane, Washington Laurie was the goofy wife that did the “Good Morning” wake-up series for KXLY News. She also did voice-overs for Spokane Civic theatre.
When
she moved to South Florida, she got work doing dinner theatre and
writing her own material became an everyday passion. In the middle
of a hot flash, crazy thoughts developed into pursuing stand-up
comedy. Laurie has performed comedy as a Feature and been Master
of Ceremony in Los Angeles at: HaHa Café, Hallenbeck’s,
Rainbow Room and Corporate Functions. In South Florida the
following groups have been singing along with Laurie and laughing
at her passionate outbursts: Broward General Hospital, Women’s
luncheons, Banker’s Club, Biltmore, Ritz Carlton, Country
Clubs, Fundraisers, Private parties, and has featured for Michael
Winslow of “Police Academy” fame, Marc Price, JJ
Walker, Peter Sasso, Randy Lubas, Derek Richards, Leo Dufour, Big
Baby, Tom Drake, Steven Moore, “Kid” Dave Miller,
Tommy Blaze, Bruce Smirnoff, April Macie, Manny Oliviera, Tre Luv
and many more in clubs all over the USA. An extra perk was a radio
interview with ESPN affiliate 1350 Sports Radio in Waycross, GA.
The response was so good she is invited to do another interview
when she is back in town! You can see Laurie in clubs touring the
USA or book her for a party or corporate function. She lives and
drives her husband crazy in South Florida. Currently on XM
Satellite Radio 150 and 151.
