With the looks of Streisand and a mouth like Joan Rivers, this sassy comic will blow you away with her physical comedy and high energy. She’ll take you on a wild ride with her outrageous impersonations and knowledge of pop culture. If you’re up for a little adult humor, Shawn’s your holiday lady.
Since the age of 8, Oklahoma born Shawn Pelofsky knew she wanted to be a comedian. She attended UCLA and received her B.A. from The School of Theater. While at UCLA she joined the improv group, “Comedius Interruptus,” which in turn motivated her to train at The Groundlings.
