Tribute artist and comedian Laurie Ayers becomes Phyllis Diller in this live one-woman show, Phyllis Diller Story Time for Grown-Ups delivering comical readings of this legendary comedian.
Hailed as one of the best Phyllis Diller performers in the world, Miss Ayers’ performances have wowed audiences worldwide. She’s performed in Las Vegas, England, LaughFest Grand Rapids and in major conventions from coast to coast.
Through live comedic dialogue, along with playful crowd interaction, Ayers captures the persona and heart of Diller, recounting her absurd journey as a housewife dealing with her kids, mother-in-law, her fictitious husband, “Fang,” and her numerous facelifts.
Reading from Diller’s autobiography, as well as her other books on marriage, housekeeping, parenting, and aging, Laurie will include many of Diller’s greatest quips such as My Mother-in-law Wears Army Shoes, What to Say When a Moth Flies Out of the Oven, From Here to Maternity, Facelifts: Medicine’s Way of Telling Nature to Flake Off, and The Truth About Fang – plus many more surprises!
Host this this fun, highly entertaining grown-up, clean show for your group. Bring your mid-century sense of humor for a slice of nostalgia. Wigs, boas, gloves, and eccentric Phyllis Diller-esque attire suggested; laughs required.
