Whats the comedy climate like her in Buffalo? Does it differ from city to city?
It does differ, some scenes are stronger than others. LA, Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco, Seattle and NYC all have well established scenes. Our scene is very exciting right now. A few of our guys and gals have moved to NYC recently and are representing quite well, which just makes Buffalo comics look better. Not having a full time comedy club (there is Rob’s in Amherst, but they are focusing on touring comics more than local guys) has given our city an underground, DIY attitude. Plus, being from Buffalo, we are accustomed to being the butt of jokes for a long time. I firmly believe that a sense of humor is ingrained in Buffalonians, and that it is finally time for us to own it. That’s why I wanted the tagline to be “joke’s on us” Do you look at yourself as the Queen of Comedy? Is there a King of Comedy? I wouldn’t go that far! I look at myself as being a comic in a city that didn’t have my career choice as an industry. And I love Buffalo, and would love to be able to sustain myself on
