From Tulsa, Oklahoma all the way to the West Coast, Vanessa Dawn’s cleverly chill comedy sneaks up on you like an unmarked car at a busy intersection. This relaxed wit has taken her to the Big Sky Comedy Festival, Big Pine Comedy Festival, Laugh After Dark Comedy Festival, and a boatload of other destinations — she performs at festivals, clubs, and theaters throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, and whole country. You might have asked her for directions one time. She gets this a lot, probably due to having the kind eyes and welcoming vibe of a Care Bear.
