Hyphenated

It began over breakfast, around noon…

A working comic told me that I could do stand-up: I believed him. Six years later, after moving to SF, I finally stepped on stage to try. I found my path. I’ve always been animated, opinionated, loved words, delighted in playfulness, and liked to make people think & laugh. I didn’t know it was remarkable. I didn’t know it could be a life.

I’m living it.

I’m a funny, physically-animated, high-kicking, big-hugging, opinion-sharing, writer, performer, producer, encourager person.

Comedy has taken me through stand-up, improv, sketch, solo shows, and now a book. I resist limiting myself to one expression because this craft-building journey is exciting and I like to stay busy. I’m here for joy and challenge. I’m a lived experience. During the pandemic, I began an online card business to harness my open-hearted connection skills for the masses… Oh, you’re here about the name?

Call me Mary and Alice together, the hyphen means they’re holding hands.
