In category after category, the lovable comedian, producer, actor, podcaster, and writer Natasha Muse brightens Bay Area comedy. Her endearingly awkward demeanor onstage is complemented by cerebral wit and whimsical wordplay, with an occasional silent pause as she waits for the audience to catch up. Her comedy, her personality, and her Twitter feed are sharpened with subtle sarcasm and a satirical edge, as is her monthly show, A Funny Night for Comedy, a parody of the classic late-night talk show format. Muse quietly represents all that San Franciscans are adamantly proud of — a transexual lesbian mother and freelance artist — and she dishes it all up for us with candid humility and hilarity.
