"Her
songs tackle sexual foibles, existential crises and more with a giddy
levity that catapults us into an absurd (yet very familiar) world of
her own creation.” - She Does The City, Toronto
From the west coast of Canada comes this multi-award winning
cabaret
musician, whose all original music is hilarious, uncensored, honest,
subversive, irreverent, witty, empowering, and taboo. Her clever lyrics
go down smooth with her gorgeous vocals, and her charm will disarm you
through topics both provocative and silly. With genres as wide ranging
as country, folk, rock, EDM, electro pop and r&b, her versatility
as a musician and songwriter lends itself to her hilarious sensibility.
Her one-woman cabaret shows have wowed audiences and critics
alike, with sell out shows across Canada, the US, Australia, New
Zealand and the UK. She’s appeared at Just For Laughs Vancouver, The
Melbourne
International Comedy Festival, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and CBC’s
The Debaters.
She is signed with Canada's largest independent music label (604
Records) with Comedy Here Often. Her latest release Decoxification was nominated for a
Juno Award for Comedy Album of
the Year 2021.
She returns to the Edmonton Fringe after eight years, with brand new
songs that will be featured on her upcoming live album taping. Come
hear the songs before the
algorithm shows them to you. It's a great chance to tell her if the
songs stink so no one else has to suffer them.
