New York Underground Comedy Festival

I had the pleasure of hosting the NYUCF Pajama Party at Bleecker Street Theater! This is such a fun night when all the comics and audience wear pajamas to the show! There were a ton of amazing comics there including Lori Sommers, Jessemae Peluso, Yonah Ward Grossman, and many more! This was my second year as part of the NYUCF.

AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT

Renaissance man Ken Del Vecchio, who has blessed me with numerous roles in his movies, wrote the role of Christy DeMine in his latest success “An Affirmative Act”. This is a very relevant and powerful film dealing with the issues of gay marriage. I was honored to play alongside some great actors like Charles Durning, Costas Mandolar, Robert Clohessy and Blanch Baker. Here’s some BTS pictures from set.

Here I am with Robert Clohessy, who was supposed to play my husband, but booked Empire Boardwalk, so he played a different role :( And Tom G. Waits. And below is Blanch Baker (16 Candles, Emmy Award Winner), Jakie Martling, and Justin Deas. We're hamming it up with executive producer Kenneth DelVecchio.

THE HOBOKEN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

This year I had THREE films screening at the festival! An Affirmative Act (with Costas Mandolar and Charles Durning), Fake (with Robert Loggia and Gabriel Mann), and an encore of O.B.A.M Nude. I also presented the award for the ‘Best Pilot” at the closing ceremonies. The entire week was a star filled event, which culminated with Robert Loggia receiving the lifetime achievement award. The festival is run by Kenneth DelVecchio: film maker, business man, author, judge, lawyer....the list goes on. He really knows how to throw a festival! People came from all over the world (even as far as Australia)

THE PHILHALLMONIC SOCIETY PRESENTS "LOVE IS IN THE AIR"

I was asked to join 17 other super duper talented women to sing for a cause! Phil Hall who’s bio includes coaching/conducting everyone from Angela Landsbury to Terrie Hatcher and conducting the national tour of Cats, started this non-for-profit organization to be lent out to all kinds of charities to help them raise money thru our concerts. We’ve already played a bunch of shows and raised oodles of money. It’s been so amazing to work with the choreographers and singers and stylists! We have 3 shows this October at the Traid in conjunction with the Cabaret Convention in NYC. Here’s a clip from our valentines day show. Below is a picture of me with Phil Hall and performing our valentine's day show.

New York Lottery - Welcome Back to Fabulous Las Vegas

I booked a commercial for NY Lotto that has been playing like crazy! Even during American Idol! That’s the closest I’ll ever get to being on that show ;) We took over the casino in Yonkers and made our own east coast Vegas there. I played a tacky trophy wife to a Texan oil man. It was very funny!

SCREEN SIRENS CABARET

   My partner-in-crime, Erika Smith and I wrote, produced, and starred in a sold out cabaret show at NYC’s famed club Don’t Tell Mama.  All the songs were from movie soundtracks and we let the audience in on the behind-the- scenes life of a B Movie actress. It was bawdy, busty and ballsy! Our Musical director was legendary Broadway talent Phil Hall.
