bio

 Trish's style of comedy is one part social satire, two parts personal pain and most parts attitude! Ranked as one of Florida's funniest, a comic actress with a punch, Trish's humor is formed from years of defying her mother, dating dorks and dealing with drama! 

As seen on NBC, FOX and CBS. From Chicago's Second City, to TV, Film and the Stage, she's worked with A-lister's like Wanda Sykes, Kathleen Madigan and Jeff Foxworthy. Trish loves to improv with her audience and make each show unique!

Following in the footsteps of her comedy idols; Paula Poundstone, Joan Rivers and Wanda Sykes, Trish likes to rev up her own brand of minted sarcasm onstage regularly across the country.

Trish began her comedy career performing daily onstage at Universal Studios, then onto Chicago to workshop with the legendary Uta Hagen. Trish soon studied improv at Second City, and continued to hone her skills on teams at The Annoyance and The Improv Olympic with Del Close.  Appearances in various film and television productions followed including: E.R., Return to Me, Chicago Hope, and Early Edition as well as many other theatricals. Trish is happy to say she worked on Ocean's 11 and basically got paid to stalk George Clooney!

Trish is a teacher/director at a busy performing arts magnet high school - think "Fame" on RedBull!  She performs regularly at clubs, events and colleges across the state and beyond.
