The Los Angeles Times raves, "She's a master of the throwaway line, making a perfectly rational observation, then adding almost subliminally the punchline which skews everything she has said before." The Montreal Gazette calls her the "Queen of the Afterthought". It is this unique delivery style, paired with perfect comedic timing that makes her comedy so original and unforgettable.
In addition to her comedic success, she has earned a B.A. degree in Psychology from Wellesley College. She did psych research at Harvard Medical school. She has authored the book " Swear to Lily". She co-hosts a weekly radio program "Unbound" with Terri Nunn on KCSN-FM 88.5 radio Los Angeles. She writes the health related blog LMAO. In addition to all of this, in 2010 she was clue #23 down on the New York Magazine's crossword puzzle. As we said earlier, an endless resume.
We are a long time fans of this very lovely lady. We are so honored that she took time out to answer our "25 of the best".
