You better hope that you are not the next person who says to me "let's do lunch." Because it is very likely that this will be the moment that I just totally snap. I don't understand the payoff people get coming up to me after meeting me or after seeing a gig and saying things like "I love you. Let's talk.", or "You are a star. Let's do lunch." if they don't really mean it. I finally got the blow-off of a "big fan" of mine today after time was wasted coresponing and sending pricing and bios and blah, blah, blah. Is your ego that challenged that it needs to torture a little lesbian just to get out of bed in the morning?
I don't say shit to people that I can't help or I think have zero talent. There is a young girl who contacted me after seeing the feature story about my career in the Press of Atlantic City. She wants to do coffee. Guess what? I said yes. Guess what else? I'm going to actually do coffee with her. Because that is what I said I was going to do. Plus I actually believe artists should network and stick together. Call me crazy.

She pulls her humor from everyday observations and classic stories of family, travel, pets, and adversity. With razor-sharp crowd work and improvisational skills to the rock-solid timing of a veteran performer, Michelle’s act is not to be missed!
