I once lived with my Deaf parents in a tin shed in Montgomery, Texas. We soon upgraded to a trailer, but it was eventually repossessed so we moved into our barn. Since then, I've earned a paralegal degree, pursued banking, promotional and acting careers. I now run my own production and public relations company in New York City and am writing my memoir for publication in the fall of 2010. Here is a Wikipedia page someone wrote and below are some of my credits in all their glorious reverse chronological detail: I own & operate Ballyhoo Promotions, a production and PR company in New York with a focus on comedy and theater. Clients include the comedy nightclub Comix, comedian Christian Finnegan, Jest Magazine and God's Pottery. Recently I have promoted events for Richard Belzer, Richard Lewis, XM Radio, Robert Wuhl, Craig Ferguson, Janeane Garofalo, Roseanne Barr, Oxygen & Mandy Moore, and Barbara Walters. Past Ballyhoo clients and projects include the Stand Uppity comedy tour sponsored by 236.com and featuring Marc Maron, Andy Kindler & Eugene Mirman; award winning novelist Edith Layton; Chamberlain Bros. International Film Festival; and The Meow Mix House, a televised marketing campaign that had nine rescued cats living in a house on Madison Avenue. No kidding. Most recently I created Ochi's Lounge, a 60 seat performance space open Monday through Saturday featuring a variety of comedy and storytelling shows. Additionally, I produce dozens of shows each month featuring comedians and writers from The Onion, The Daily Show, Saturday Night Live, you name it. I co-produced a monthly show Sob Stories for NBC and have begun production on Comix TV, a new 30 minute television show with the nightclub Comix. With Tex in the City, a social networking company for Texans living in NYC, I produced an off-Broadway cabaret featuring Andra Mitrovich (Love, Janis), promotional events for the Broadway productions of Urinetown the Musical and 42nd Street, a private book launch party for Governor Ann Richards and lots of free shows and soirees. I hosted parties for Jose Cuervo contest winners on the private island Marina Cay, aka The Cuervo Nation, located in the British Virgin Islands. I also toured the United States in conjunction with professional sporting events including Major League Baseball and NHRA/NASCAR Winston Cup Series and exclusive engagements for various companies such as Jose Cuervo, Camel, Stolichanaya, Pepsi, Winston, Kellogg's & more. My credits include "Janet Labelle" in the original Emmy nominated PBS television series K.C. & the Kidd, "Maggie" in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, "Helena" in A Midsummer Night's Dream, "Billie Dawn" in Born Yesterday, and "Brooke Ashton" / "Vicki" in Noises Off, for which I won Best Supporting Actress. In New York, I have appeared at Comix, Upright Citizen's Brigate aka UCB, The People's Improv Theater, The Bitter End, Ochi's Lounge, PS-NBC and the illustrious KGB Bar. Shows on which I've performed include Mortified, The Moth, SpeakEasy Stories, Drink at Work, Chicks & Giggles and Sweet with Seth Herzog.
