An American comedian and actress known for one-woman shows built around original Jewish-themed songs and monologues, honed over years as a member of Chicago's storied Second City improv troupe. She earned an Emmy nomination for playing the acid-tongued maid Mamacita opposite Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon in the 2017 miniseries Feud, bringing the same unsparing comic voice from her stage act to television.
