Voting Home / Lisa Koch
Nominated for: BEST Local Comedian
Picture the triangulated love child of Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, and Karen Carpenter... and you've got Lisa Koch. An irreverent Seattle singer/comedian, Koch (“Coke”) is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and demented songs. She has 4 solo recordings, is one-half of hilarious sketch-comedy duo, Dos Fallopia ("My Breasts Are Out of Control"), and is an alumnus of cult quartet Venus Envy ("I'll Be A Homo for Xmas").
Lisa has co-written such warped shows as "The Carpeters: Uncomfortably Close To You," “Two's Company, I'm a Crowd,” and “Ham for the Holidays: Swine, Women and Song.” She also finds time to work as an actor, appearing in "The Vagina Monologues,” "Dirty Blonde,” and as the Wicked Witch of the West in “The Wizard of Oz” (5th Ave Theatre). She performs regularly on Olivia Cruises, is touring her one-woman cabaret show, “Return to Planet Lisa”, and is the composer of a new musical about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas (“27, Rue de Fleurus”), which premieried Off-Broadway in March 2008. Koch's latest CD (“Tall Cool Drink”) contains the internet hit, “I'm a Middle-Aged Woman.”
