She has performed at many of the world’s biggest comedy festivals, including the iconic Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Oregon. She has been the recipient of the Canadian Comedy Awards Best Female Stand Up trophy, made the finals of Sirius XM’s hotly contested Top Comic competition, and been cited by various outlets including the likes of Comedy Central and Vultures as a comic to watch.
