robin williams was just starting, and paula poundstone and whoopi. >> being in san francisco led her to another exciting new opportunity. >> when i started out i was lucky enough to meet the members of "culture clash." i started working in this group of latino comedian performers ping all over california in a variety show. >> her career ever involved over the years. >> i am not satisfied just to do standup comedy because i wanted to tell stories. in standup you can be a storyteller but the style, now, is one liners and i love the economy of that but i really want to tell stories. >> basically, i do one person plays. i could take my script and i can put other actors interest it but i would not get all the money. and all attention. i write my scripts as if it is for a cast and then i adapt it so i can actually tell the whole step and be all the characters in it and i have done ten solo shows. >> she performed the most recent show "love birds," around the country to rave reviews. like i told you at club, i do solo performance. it is very simple. no set, in costume, no air conditioning.
