What people are saying about lauren’s work
“Clever and hilarious." - Joe Conklin, WIP Morning Show
“Lauren's book returned me to the essential power and joy of good comedy." - Ritch Shydner, author of Kicking Through The Ashes - My Life As A Stand-up in the 1980’s
“LoGiudice weaves a multi-character story of stretching the boundaries of family, culture, and gender.” -Kate Bornstein, icon, author, Hello Cruel World
"Lauren's story may be nontraditional, but it's her 'traditional' family's point of view that gives this show such life...a fascinating story made most memorable by the characters she brings to tell it." – Pat McCorkle, Emmy Award-Winning Casting Director
"I've been a professional actor, comedian, impersonator since 1988, I’ve met a lot of impersonators since then and very few have a combination of talent, presence, comedic timing, the desire to create and the ability to nail a voice like Lauren. When I met Lauren I knew she had the killer combination. When she performs she is firing on all cylinders. This book is proof that Lauren does her homework with every single aspect of her characters. She takes a holistic approach: Accent + acting, physicality, writing, make up, wardrobe and the research! And everything is built on her natural instinct for comedy which she keeps sharpening. This takes a lot of work but Lauren and I hold ourselves to a high standard. Good is NOT good enough. Lauren is one of the few performers who shares my work ethic and you can see it in all of her amazing work." - John Di Domenico, Emmy Award Nominated Actor, Writer, Comedian, and Impersonator, Conan O’Brien, Trumpcast, Amazon Prime's Fake News: A Trump Story
