“When was the last time a jazz singer delivered one liners worthy of a stand-up club? When was the last time a performer captured your heart with simple sincerity? But it was her vibrant voice and impeccable musicianship that defined the evening.” – Bill Van Sant, Essex Journal
“I don’t know if I go to see her because she sings great or because she’s so funny! Don’t miss this show!” – Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline
