I can't remember a comedian's name -- maybe you can

[tomwed]

I'll describe her. She is "our" age and I think she may have appeared in The Villages. She is always sold out. She does stand up but only started doing it later in life. Her humor is about her life. She is hysterical [I think] and not the least bit off color. I think she has blonde hair. I know I saw her on youtube but can't remember her name. I used all my search terms on google and youtube but to no avail.

I want to send a friend part of her act that is on youtube. She is not anyone that has done Television shows.

Before I retired younger teachers would fill in the blanks for me when I would try to tell stories and forgot some of the names, tv shows or places. I nicknamed that help "in faculty room support."

I had forgotten about her. Thanks to the OP for the reminder. I wouldn't have remembered her name either, but as soon as I saw her in the link from salpal I remembered viewing her videos before - funny lady. Didn't realize she had been scheduled to come to TV.

tomwed, here's a comedian you might like, give him a listen? Unfortunately he's no longer with us, he died in 2005, but he's the funniest comedian I've ever seen. I caught his act on Letterman about 5 times. Here's one of his skits - Mitch Hedberg is his name.

Sadly, he committed suicide.

Are you talking about Mitch Hedberg? I guess taking too many drugs could be considered suicide, but I've never heard anyone officially say that.

Comedian Mitch Hedberg's death in March was the result of an accidental drug overdose, according to the New Jersey medical examiner's office.

The official cause of death was determined to be "multiple drug toxicity." Traces of cocaine and heroin were detected in his system, according to the medical examiner's report filed in May.

Hedberg's body was discovered in a Livingston, New Jersey, hotel room on March 30 (see "Comedian Mitch Hedberg Found Dead In New Jersey Hotel Room"). At first, it was believed the comedian had died from heart failure, as he was born with a congenital heart defect and experienced chronic heart palpitations.

The comic, born and raised in St. Paul, Minnesota, spent much of his career straddling that fine line between cult status and relatively larger stardom. Much like Steven Wright, Hedberg was a master of the one-liner, and his comical observations about life's subtle peculiarities inspired Time magazine to declare him "the next Seinfeld" in 2000.

Hedberg joked often about drug abuse; he had long struggled with both alcohol and drugs. An article published in the Los Angeles Times in 2003 reported that Hedberg spent two and a half days in jail, and six weeks in a hospital bed, following his arrest in May of that same year for felony heroin possession.
