She co-produces two comedy gems of Destiny City: Bob’s Comedy Jive and Laughing Mater. When she’s not out bothering businesses to put up comedy show posters, she’s bothering people on stage.

Comic 2: Cheri Hagan Hardman

Comic 3: Kyla Guerrero
“Kyla Guerrero is a Bellingham, WA based comic originally from San Diego, CA but now calls Oak Harbor, WA home where she produces the biggest comedy night on Whidbey Island called Whitty Bits (instagram @whittybitscomedy).

Comic 6: Elizabeth Ann Anderson
In the words of Dolly Parton “its hard being a diamond in a rhinestone world!” As a mother of 2 young girls all I can say is there is not enough Caffeine, Nicotine, or Alcohol to help raise these sassholes. Grew up as a conservative southern belle type than discovered life after high school….worked every kind of job from selling cars to throwing fish. Believe me….Deadliest Catch is not as fun as it looks. Now as I’m getting older I’m learning great life lessons like having more patience, being a gentle leader, and knowing I’m too old to twerk!
