After over 25 years of living across the United State, I have returned to my first love, The Sunshine State! We are currently producing a bi-monthly show at Lucille's Music Hall in Destin, Florida and you can find my partner in crime, Corey Mack and myself partying and dancing the night away every single weekend at the Village Door Dance Club inside the Sandestin Resort. Come party and lauch with us!

I started my Year off performing at the Pensacola Fringe and Comedy Festival and even scored my first audition of 2020 by the second week of the year!  This is going to be a marvelous year!  :)

Unlike so many people, I LOVED 2019!  I had the chance to perform at Harrah's Casino, New Orleans several times and feature at L'Auberge Casino in lake Charles.  I also had my first ou-of-town headliner gig and countless shows across the Southeast and Texas.  I accomplished all this on stage, while still having the time to spend over 2 months abroad in Saudi Arabia, Finland, and Jamaica and building my fitness and life coaching business to include clients on three continents and across the US. 

Cheers to 2019 and Welcome 2020!!

The Live Free, Laugh Hard Family is producing a new monhtly show at SIPPS in Gulfport, MS. 

This show will be hosted by Corey Mack and I will be on the ticket as often as possible!  Our first two shows at the SIPPS were a huge success and we are looking forward to returning to this stage on August 11th with a new cast of hilarious New Orleans and Mobile based comics!

Come laugh and get drunk with us!  :)  

I was exited to perform in Helsinki, Finland for the first time since 2011! 

A huge thanks to Ali Jahangiri and Bahar Tokat for the opportunity!

Some of my favorite moments in April... :) 

I got invited to be in the NEW Haha Comedy Club Next Comic Standing contest in North Hollywood on February 16th!  I made it to the top three in the preliminary show, so I am now ready to take on the FINALS on March 2nd!  Whoop! 

Update: I had a great set at the finals and placed 4th.  :)

While in L.A. for the Haha Comedy Club's contest, I decided to take a shot at every possible show I might be able to get on.  In 5 nights I got to perform at the Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank, at the Hollywood Improv on Melrose, at the Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, at the Westside Comedy Theater, and I got to do a set at the Tribal Cafe open mic, Marty's on SUnset, and I even got on stage at the Comedy Store's Belly Room for their Get up and Get on open mic.  Plus, of course I also got to do my competition set at the Haha!  What as awesome 5 days of fun and laughs! 

I can't wait for my next trip to L.A. the last weekend in February!  :)

It was absolutely time for new headshots and thanks to the amazing work of photographer Bryce Ell, here they are!  I am so very happy with these new pics that capture the many faces of iina... :)

My Flip My Food Episode aired on September 8th, 2014!  For a segment from the show, click here!

Recently, my husband had the opportunity to open for DL Hughley at the Belle Casino in Baton Rouge, LA.  He was going up first before DL's own opener, Marques S and the guys were performing "relay style" without an MC.  The Belle of Baton Rouge was going to have their stage manager go up to introduce Corey to the stage, when he said, "Wait a minute!  My wife is a comic too, I'd rather her do my intro!"  He ran to the back of the atrium and with 30 seconds of notice I was rushed onto stage!  I was super excited and all I could think was, "Energy!  Bring your energy up!"  I ran up to the stage and got the crowd cheering before bringing Corey up.  Those 15-30 seconds in front of nearly 2000 people did more for my confidence than I could have imagined and after the show we had a great time hanging out in the green room for a couple of hours.  I'm grateful for my husband's confidence in me... :) 

The Live Free Laugh Hard show is heading to New York October 2nd - 7th. 

Corey and I had the chance to meet JB Benn,

The Magic Man in  New Orleans during his

Travel Channell Tour!  He simply amazed us!

Our episode aired on Travel Channel in the fall of 2013.

Early mornings in the tent.  I was happy with the healthy breakfast!  :) 

Rain break on set

End of first day on set, we were treated to a impromptu performace by Will Smith!  Inspiring words...

Apparently, News with a Twist is going to be using my face for a long time, lol!  I keep getting photos people have taken when they catch my photos on there.  I'm still hoping that they'll catch my clown pics one day...
