Character Continued from 28
What’s the biggest challenge of Q: :improv? For me, the biggest thing is not planA ning ahead. In my real life I’m a school teacher, and I plan ahead. In improv, you have to be in the moment. It’s a continual learning skill.
You have mostly been the only female Q: :onThere the Laff Staff. What’s that like? was another girl last year who A left in the spring, Nicole Burdick. I was the only one for a while. The guys,
I call them “my boys.” They’re very supportive. There’s definitely a masculine energy there, and I like to combat that. It’s really nice to have more than one gal on the team. I don’t have to play every single girl part. I like it when Brian [Lenz] pretends to be a girl, because he walks in high heels and is on his toes the whole time.
: You are five months pregnant. Did Q that impact your first improv shows of the fall, Oct. 1-2? : The raunchy, raunchy humor, I feel A like I have to hold my hands over my stomach and protect those little ears
in there. It definitely comes in from time to time. A lot of times, part of improv is playing a variety of characters. Sometimes it’s nice to not be pregnant for five minutes and step out and be somebody else. At the shows this past weekend, at one point I was on Jon Christensen’s shoulders up in the air, and I had people come up to me after the show saying, “That probably wasn’t a good idea.” I said, “Yeah, I think you’re right.” But in the moment that’s what the character would have done.
: Has there been a female role model Q:My for you in comedy? role models are the people I A work with. It’s more about building trust among members of the Laff Staff

than looking outside. I’m not a student of comedy, I’m a school-teacher. It’s kind of my hobby, my chance to get out there and try to discover new things and fight off Alzheimer’s, one step at a time.
What’s funny about Jackson in your Q: :eyes? Jackson is funny because there are a A lot of stereotypes here, from the ski bum, bro-brah, to the cowboys to the hip-

pies to the richy-rich, to the 90-day wonders. There are a lot of different characters in town that are interesting material. I think Jackson is fascinating place with this blend of cowboy-culture and wealthy folks and nature lovers. All of that coming together creates a rich community.

voice mail a little more interesting. My teacher friends say pencils. I had another teacher friend say every student should come with a roll of Duct tape to be used on them throughout the year. Some wildly inappropriate things.

: Historically, comedy has been dominated by men. Why are so few women in comedy? : I think improv shatters some of those boundaries. If you look at some of the names on “Saturday Night Live” who have made careers out of it, there’s a lot. There’s some very powerful female comedians out there, but it’s a different type of humor. It’s
JACKSON HOLE WOMAN, Jackson Hole News&Guide, Wednesday, October 20, 2010 - 29 not as saucy. It’s maybe a little more subtle. We can play a type character as well as the boys can. I don’t know. It definitely takes more guts to get out there. I don’t know if that’s a male thing — they don’t think through it all, or what. The guys have been more than welcoming, though. They Medical, Surgical & Cosmetic Skin Care had to talk me in. They wooed me.
