Difficult times call for difficult instruments, perhaps more difficult for my listeners than for me! I’ll try to break the monotony of anxiety with the occasional tune. Recorded at home via my phone (sans makeup or hair!). Here’s a few for you:

Excited about having shot these sketches with talented actress/writer Stephanie Erb! We had an outstanding crew, and were blessed with the unstoppable force that is Ben Solenberger as producer. We’ve just shot the first three “Short Smirks” and stay tuned for how to view them….

The wonderful fans of NPR’s comedy quiz show “Says You!” have done it again: this weekend’s tapings (in front of live audiences) are sold out!

We’ll be performing / taping two shows at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco Friday Feb 14, two shows at the McClatchy Auditorium in Sacramento Saturday Feb 15, and two more shows at The Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto on Sunday Feb 16. Standby tickets and info at SaysYou.net.

Get your copy of singer/songwriter Brian Woodbury’s new album “Levity & Novelty” today! It’s chocked full of wonderful, quirky, clever tunes, one of which — “Perfectly Awful” — features yours truly! You can even purchase the track I’m on separately, FOR ONLY $1, y’all.

Give it a listen below, and if you’d like to add it to your digital library for a buck (or even buy the whole amazing CD for only $20!) you can click the “buy” button below, or visit here, on Brian’s website. There are 27 songs on the album, so if you buy the whole thing, you’re saving $7, so that’s not nothing. In that scenario, you’d be saving and also simultaneously supporting cool artists like Brian. Doesn’t that give you a warm squishy feeling?

Thanks for supporting indie music!

Now in its fifteenth year, the Beloit International Film Festival will be featuring “The Lutefisk Wars” as part of its lineup. DIrected by Chris Panneck and Dave Hall, this hilarious indie comedy is all about the crazy Norwegian mafia, and I play one of the lead roles, Gail Ramstad.

Screenings will be on Friday Feb 28th and Sat Feb 29th in beautiful Beloit, Wisconsin. Get your tickets (and more info) here!

I’m so excited to be on the panel of “Says You!” again later this month! This hilarious NPR quiz show is taped in front of live audience, and is always a lot of fun.

On Saturday January 25, we’ll be performing/taping in the San Bernadino College Auditorium. Tickets available now! STANDARD TICKET:  Admission includes open seating in the Auditorium theater.  Show begins at 3:00p and ends around 6:00 (with a brief intermission). PREMIUM TICKETS:  A KVCR Pre-Show Event including premium reserved seating (and a meet & greet with yours truly, as well as the rest of the esteemed panel!) in The Auditorium theater. Pre-Show event begins at 2:00p and then joins the 3:00 start.

A summary of the show: Take one word, add two teams, create three definitions and throw in a live audience. And, that’s Says You! – the last word in radio quiz shows since 1996. If you’re new to the show, join our panelists as our host challenges them with the most interesting and difficult questions you’re likely to hear on the airwaves. Curious listeners know our motto: It’s not important to know the answers…it’s important to like the answers!

Go see “Bombshell!” I’ve got a scene with Charlize Theron in the hit movie, which is in movie theaters now.

When Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) slaps Fox News founder Roger Ailes (John Lithgow) with a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, not a soul could predict what would happen next. Her decision leads to Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) coming forward with her own story, as well as multiple other women, inciting a movement that reverberates around the world.

Such a fun shoot, with amazing, talented, generous folks. I am so proud to be a small part of this great cast, which is nominated for “Outstanding Performance by a Cast” SAG-AFTRA Award!
