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!
