About Carolyn:
Carolyn Plummer. God help us. Some comics rely on the monumental events of the day or the faux pas of the rich and famous. Not Carolyn. Carolyn pulls material from the hum-drum, day-to-day monotony of the life of everyman. And she does it well. To Carolyn the monumental is easyâitâs our existence thatâs so hard, yet so ridiculous. Some women look in the mirror and complain because they arenât pretty enough, not rich enough, not young enough. Carolyn gives her reflection the finger. The third child of a Congregational Minister and an âaloofâ home maker mother; âaloofâ? Sheâs clueless; her favorite band is Blootie and the Hoefish.â C.P. Carolyn learned early on that she could lament or she could make fun. See her once and youâll quickly figure out which path she chose. And youâll laugh. Possessing an uncanny ability to introspectively pull from places most of us hide, Carolyn puts a nail through the heart of whiners, self-loathers and the self-sorry of the world and makes the average seem hilarious and larger than life. Most of all, Carolynâs twisted perception of our common existence leaves audiences hysterically shaking heads in agreement with her assessment that the world is indeed a very funny place.
