Maryellen, Excellent show! I'm so glad I listened to the radio that morning and heard that you were here! My mom and I think you are HILARIOUS!!! We watch the same Comedy Central special over and over just because it's so funny. Thanks for making us all laugh. And, please, come back this way just as soon as you can!!! I want to take my mom to see you. I bought her a tape, but it's just not the same as seeing you live!!! Keep up the good work!!!

We thought your show was fantastic!. We will be back for more, keep up the good work.

Very funny, much more than I expected. It has been a long time since I laughed at almost everything a comedian said. I was very impressed at your ability to do true improv. You are a true comic. Thanks for a great show!

You are the funniest comedian I've ever seen. I took my mother and father to your show. I've never seen my father laugh outloud in my 40 years. He was howling, with tears rolling down his face. Please come to Kansas City, I'll fill the joint myself. I've told dozens of people about you, and they are anxious to see the show.

Best show we have ever seen!! Far surpasses anyone else we have seen in the last 15 years. The best of the best, needs her own show!!!!! Very, very proud of this young woman, dosn't need to make fun of others, uses live itself to laugh about.....wonderful!!!

Absolutely AWESOME!!! We laughed SOOO hard all night. I had seen you before on Comedy Central and thought you were hilarious! Seeing you live and in person you were even better! I wish all the luck in the world to you and hope you come back to the Detroit area again soon! Please notify me if you do return, you will have a couple of definite returns and also will bring alot of friends along!
