Phyllis Diller is ON!

“I became a stand up comedienne because I had a sit down husband”

She was America’s first female stand-up comic in a previously male-dominated role. She paved the way for Joan Rivers, Lily Tomlin, Roseanne Barr, Paula Poundstone, Tig Notaro, and so many more talented and funny women. Ellie will explain how Phyllis invented a rotten husband, Fang–he didn’t really exist although she did have her share of trials and tribulations in the marriage department. She also made jokes about being ugly, when she was quite stunning without her stage costume, and she made endless references to poor housekeeping and bad cooking when, in reality, she was adept at both. Why? Ellie will give audiences a glimpse of the backstage Phyllis while delighting you with the onstage antics as well.
