| Poppy Champlin |
If one were to cross the sweet grooving
persona of Ellen Degeneres with Denis Leary’s
raunchy sarcasm, the result would be Poppy
Champlin. Poppy erupts onto the stage
without fanfare, but with enough energy to
take down the house in her first minute of
comedy. Rapid fire jokes interspersed with
comedic songs keep her audiences laughing
and coming back.
Her stand-up pedigree is flawless; from VH-1,
to A&E, Oprah Winfrey and Joan Rivers to her
newest gig on Atlantis cruises she has earned
a reputation of being one of the fastest witted
female comediennes on either coast.
Graduating from The University of Rhode Island
with a BFA in theatre, Poppy set out for
Chicago where she attended the famed
Second City Comedy Troupe. She refined her
chops in Chicago opening for such comics as
Ray Ramano, Denis Leary, Bill Maher, Bill Hicks
and Rosie O’Donnell.
When Poppy hit tinsel town, she continued to
study acting at the Larry Moss studios and has
since put up her critically acclaimed One
Woman Show, “A Chocolate Sandwich.”
She was a staff writer on FOX’s Show Me The
Funny.
Poppy currently can be seen performing her
comedy, in the new HBO Documentary “All
Aboard Rosie’s Family Vacation” as well as,
hosting her own popular comedy show;
“Cocktails and Comedy” at the infamous GirlBar
in West Hollywood.
Ever increasing her visibility, she is a regular
performer in Provincetown, at the Dinah Shore
Weekend, and is scheduled to perform in the
closing ceremonies of the Gay Games in
Chicago, 2006.
Poppy tackles tough subjects with ease. In
this comedienne’s hands we can laugh at life’s
most formidable perils... and laughter that
ravages fear is the best kind of all.
