Recent comments from audience members have included "riveting, I don't have words, I am so moved," "Your father came totally alive for meit was like he was in the room," "You have given me hope for healing what I thought was broken."

Comments for her performance included: "I can't remember when I've laughed so hard!" "As a woman approaching menopause, I felt like you were talking to me." "I wish you could have just kept goingI didn't want it to end."
