-
“Lisa is a wry and clever joke writer who tackles sensitive topics with subversive subtlety.”
Greg Sharp
The Comedy Experiment -
“Lisa’s charming nature lures a crowd into a sense of family fun comedy, only to be cut by her sharp wit. Fueled by a vagabond-ish lifestyle, her comedy is entirely relatable whilst being outstandingly unique.”
Louis D. Michael
Salsa Parlor -
“Lisa’s sharp wit is matched by her ability to remain relatable, yet silly at the same time. You’ll be quoting her long after she’s left the stage.”

Lisa was selected by comedian Steve Hofstetter to perform a guest spot on his Spring 2024 show in Tacoma, WA.
Lisa got her start in comedy by way of improv in 2010, quickly jumping into sketch and standup comedy as well. She regularly performed at The Improv Trick and The Improv Shop (St. Louis, MO), as a member of the house team Galaxander and independent two-person troupe Separate Checks. In 2013, Lisa was named to the Top 8 in The Riverfront Times’ region-wide Standup Throwdown. A founding member of The Last Sketch Comedy Show on Earth, she wrote and performed sketches as well as a Weekend Update-style news segment called The Doomsday News.
After moving to Colorado in 2013, Lisa joined the cast of On the Spot, a weekly improv show at the Bovine Metropolis Theater (Denver, CO). She also performed on the independent improv team Free Gluten, on Season 5 of Denver’s Next Improv Star, in the sketch show Sorry Not Sorry, and in Buntport Theater’s comedy debate show The Great Debate with the likes of Josh Blue (she won, technically beating Josh Blue at comedy. Technically.).
As if that wasn’t enough, Lisa also self-published a memoir in 2022, titled Stay: My Forever Friendship with an Aging Dog. It won a silver Benjamin Franklin Award for Best First Book. Lisa is currently working on a second book, despite the sad reality that there are no awards for Best Second Book.
