Also Starring:
Host/MC Anna Polack
FLAPPERS COMEDY, BURBANK COMEDY FESTIVAL, THE ICE HOUSE PASADENA, LAUGH RIOT GRRL FESTIVAL, TAO COMEDY
Anna thought it might be a little on-the-nose to be the youngest child of an alcoholic AND be a comic, so she spent 15 years in the nonprofit sector trying to be a serious person. It didn't take. Five years ago she essentially gave up on NOT doing comedy. Since then, she's performed at Tao Comedy, the Laugh Riot Grrl Comedy Festival, the Parents Need a Night Out Festival, The Ice House, and hosts regularly at Flappers. In 2018 she was voted Best of the Fest at the Burbank Comedy Festival.  Her humor is a defiantly sunny outlook on the macabre of parenthood, marriage, and the women's locker room at the YMCA.
