She took her show "Surface Transit" all over the US. After
a couple years, it was back in NYC this summer. I went towards
the end of the run and it was still packed. Absolutely amazing,
she has a talent for acting wildly contrasting roles almost equal to
Phil Hendrie's. The show is a series of monologues by different
characters, from an old homeless woman to an old racist Jewish
grandmother to a poor single parent to a homophobic, violent
rapist to a b-boy (leading "how to stop rhyming" support groups...
in which she breaks out into "Blood") to a airheaded teenager
(where she talke about going to a Gil Scott-Heron concert (where
she breaks out into "Your Revolution") and more. One of the
most talented people I've ever seen perform.
She's supposed to be in a Spike Lee film, I don't know if it's
"Bamboozled" or not.
