show "All That I Want" ran at Judy's Chelsea in the fall of 2001.
Active in cabaret since 1999, she has also performed in a number of
showcases and revues at Don't Tell Mama and The Duplex, and has appeared
as a guest artist in Ron Poole's "Poole Party," Courtney Knowles'
"Courtney Loves Comedy," and most recently in Jonathan Frank's show
"Some Kind of Music."
Mr. Maiocco
