A March to Remember

Hellloooo! March has come and gone in the blink of an eye. And what did we learn? Well! My fave spot in Raleigh, Goodnights Comedy Club is moving to a new home! Huge news! Still in Raleigh! But what a historic moment! That club opened in 1983 so it’s the same age as my partner, Victoria! The halls are lined with black and white headshots of every celeb who has passed through and let me tell you: Ain’t no headshot like an 80s headshot.

🎶One last timeeeee

Love my colleagues 🤩

Raleigh excited to be here #punloversunite

March was also Women’s History Month and saw a lot of comedy! My friend Collin Chamberlin came into NC and I had the pleasure of opening for him out in Asheville! He flew in from NYC and we drove out from Raleigh to Asheville, had dinner and a walk around downtown Asheville before hitting the show and driving home. It was a ton of fun.

Road dogs. Aaaawooooooo!

If I may paraphrase RENT: Show Day But Today.

Some show highlights this month include: Getting to do my first (and second!) featuring set at Gooodnights Comedy Club! First for K-Von whose conservative crowd made me a bit nervous, I’ll be honest. But they were sweet and a lot of fun. Then I got to feature upstairs for the hilarious Kellen Erskine! Helen and Kellen? You kidding me? Let’s take this on the road. I went blonder. Did a final showcase at Goodnights for their closing weekend. Had an epic show in Mebane, NC — an adorable town with insane sunsets. I did a show in Greensboro, NC during the historic UNC vs Duke (which was on TV behind me) to a surprisingly engaged audience.

Absolute March Madness

Had my first ever late night Waffle House experience (thank you, I am assimilating to NC life!) where I got to sit outside and eat my food with my fellow comics. I secretly signed a wall that is about to be torn down, I donated to Ukraine, snuck up to Pittsburgh to see my family and watch the Oscars where “punchline” became the new “slapline.” I have mad respect for Chris Rock and the level of professionalism he displayed in an unfathomable moment. I gave the only standing ovation in the room as “Belfast” won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and had lunch on the floor of my best friend’s new apartment. All in all, a pretty terrific month.

I’ll be back with an April update because it is WILD. Check my Instagram story highlights for #snakegate

Finally a stage pic where you can see the SHOES. 👠

What a February!

WOW WOW WOW. February is finally behind us! In addition to loads of comedy shows, February was a month full of celebration (Victoria’s birthday aka #febtoria ! Valentine’s Day! My brother’s birthday! My parents came to visit! Victoria’s newest art collection launched!), education (Black History Month!), devastation (I’m actively glued to the news following updates in Ukraine 🇺🇦 — if you haven’t donated, please consider doing so!), and resignation (saying goodbye to our sweet cat, Doug.) Can’t believe February is the shortest month, it has felt so very long this year. I’m thrilled to be finally in March — marching forth, if you will — and trotting towards spring. 🏃‍♀️

In addition to getting to do a ton of brill shows all over North Carolina; I got to perform virtually at Chocolate Sundaes! Chocolate Sundaes is a massive show at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles! They have a virtual show (essentially an audition — comedians, apply!) and if the audience votes you through, you get a real life Virtual Sundaes performance date at the Laugh Factory in LA! It was such a fun virtual show with loads of terrific comedians. And exciting news: ya girl was voted through and I’ll get to perform at the Laugh Factory on 11/5/2023 at 7 PM. Yep - 2023! 😂 Save the date! Don’t say I didn’t give you plenty of warning. ;)

Thanks to Sammi for coming to support and taking this sick screenshot!

I had the pleasure of hosting at Goodnights Comedy Club in Raleigh for the hilarious Caitlin Peluffo out of NYC. If you’re not checking out shows at Goodnights, change your ways. It’s the best.

Goodnights? More like GREATnights. 🤩

Thanks to Pamela Zabala for the pic!

Raleigh has such a lovely comedy scene! I got to spend some QT with local comics this month on their podcasts! Bop or Flop is an absolute bop of a podcast. The episode is up anywhere you listen to podcasts! I got to choose any date in history to review the Billboard Top 10 and SURPRISE! I didn’t even pick a Hanson week. When you think I’m gonna zig, I zag, baby!

Spoiler: More bops than flops!

What a month! My sweet parents came to visit You can’t spell “sweet” without “wee.” Those Irish darlings! We played loads of poker and board games (what is it, Christmas?!) and explored all that NC has to offer. My dad gave us loads of help with our house, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks, Dad!

Special shout out to Khari Reid for producing so many terrific shows all over the Triangle!

Here’s a pic from Oden Brewing in Greensboro:

I’ll be at Getaway River Bar in Asheville on 3/4/22 at 8 PM opening for my hilarious friend, Collin Chamberlin! If you’re local, come on out!

Looking forward to loads of comedy in March and maybe even starting an herb garden?! They don’t call me WILDy for nothing. How was your February?! Let me know.

Till next time ❤️
