About Me

Right now you can catch me in 2 all-improvised shows: RENO: 911! (as Deputy Clementine Johnson), and LOVESPRING INTERNATIONAL (as Lydia Mayhew- see clip below) which airs in every country in the world EXCEPT the USA, although it is available from i-tunes. So look for it if you're not in the USA, and who knows? Maybe some other nice network will pick us up.

I also have a few movies coming out: COOK-OFF (which I co-wrote, co-produced, and co-star in with lots of other funny people; further down you can see clips from the movie and a pic of me as "Pauline Solfest"), OVER HER DEAD BODY (with Paul Rudd and Eva Longoria), and SPOONER (with Matthew Lillard).

I'm also a member of the Groundling Theater in Los Angeles. You don't know what it's like to REALLY laugh until you've seen a show at the Groundlings!

My Interests

sketch comedy, improv, cooking, garden gnomes, old movies, foreign movies, books, books, and more books
