She made history as the first regular performer on the Comedy Store's weekly "Kill Tony" podcast, appearing in over 100 episodes and using the platform to showcase her distinctive voice. This exposure catapulted her career, leading to opportunities opening for comedy heavyweights like Joe Rogan and Russell Peters in clubs, theaters, and arenas nationwide.
