Last night was such a wonderful event. Every year, being a part of the Chicago Children's Advocacy Center’s Luminary Award Dinner means more to me than words can express. This organization tirelessly supports children who have experienced abuse, offering them the care and justice they deserve. It’s a cause that truly changes lives. Your support can make a real difference. Donations are always needed and greatly appreciated. Let's continue to stand by these children who need our help. 💖 www.chicagocac.org

When you’re hosting a medieval fundraiser, and the committee hopes the host will dress on theme. Ok, twist my arm.

I was honored to share the stage with these two amazing women this weekend. Dr. Barbara Hanek serves as a passionate advocate for animal welfare at DuPage Animal Friends. Listening to her on stage, it was obvious her care goes way beyond medical treatment; she plays a crucial role in fostering a community that supports and understands the importance of animal welfare, ensuring that every animal has the chance for a better life. I also got to share the stage once again with NBC’s Regina Waldroup. At every fundraiser we do together, her genuine love for the cause truly shines through. This time was definitely no different. Her daughter Maya was sick and she considered cancelling, but Maya told her she needed to go so they could help the animals. Fun fact: Regina has a literal HERD of rescue tortoises at her home and is known in her neighborhood as "The Tortoise Lady!" So it's safe to say she's a true hero for animals- Delivering the news by day and helping causes by night! I hope Maya gets well soon!

Children of all ages are invited to participate in the Model Matzah Bake - a unique hands-on pre-Passover experience for the whole family! Thresh, winnow, and grind wheat into flour. Then, while racing against the clock, children will punch, roll, and bake their very own handmade Matzah, similar to those that are eaten during the holiday, to take home. From farmer to baker, the children are doing it all! Then it’s Passover Puppet Time! Enjoy an entertaining rendition of the Passover story, filled with all the magic of Pesach, brought to life by beloved educator Mrs. Zeesy Posner and Jewish comedian Brett Walkow!

I love this photo. For 8 years, the Just For Laughs Festival was an amazing part of my life. Every summer, the world’s comedy community would head to Montreal for what felt like day camp for grown ups. For a few weeks, the world’s funniest comedians and biggest industry would let their hair down, let loose, and you made friends for life. I was just starting out in comedy. Some amazing heads of the festival believed in me and gave me my break to run the New Faces show. As the years went on, they believed in me more, giving me the opportunity to spread my wings, talent coordinating more and more shows. I eventually showcased one of my films, hosted their film festival, and a dream come true, I became a New Face myself. I’m forever grateful what Just For Laughs did for me, the guidance and camaraderie showed me what the comedy world could be and helped launch me into a career I could have only dreamed of. It’s so disheartening that the festival is closing its doors. It’s an institution of the comedy that I hope some way, some how, finds its way back… so that the ‘day camp for comedy’ can live on forever. Thank you to everyone involved with the festival for all you’ve done for me. I wish you all the best.

For the past 3 years I’ve been fortunate to get to work with the 2 fabulous Kates to raise funds for the Montessori School of Waukesha.

Did someone say… Game show & roast for Rowdy drinking agricultural workers? Hope I make it out alive. 🥹😜🥸

What can I say. I simply loved performing with this man right here. I’ve always admired him for his brilliant, wildly creative brain and creations. My favorite comics to be around are the ones who truly love the animal that is comedy, and he’s definitely one of them. If Bobcat Goldthwait is in your town don’t miss his show. Trust me. You’ll thank me. Here’s to our paths crossing again soon.

I’ll tell ya, there's an undeniable fabulousness in the talent at NBC Miami! Last week, I loved going toe to toe with Jawan Strader’s infectious energy, and this weekend, the thrill continued with Roxanne Vargas joining the party! Back stage we decided to throw the script to the wind as we dove at the spirited Vizcaya Ball crowd, feeding off each other and the vibrant audience. Like a runaway freight train, we kept the fun rolling, helping raise over $130k for Vizcaya Museum & Gardens. Roxanne, I'll happily share the stage with you anytime!
