have always been a fan - since back when i saw her in a club in the early 80s (w/ ellen degeneres actually, and they both slayed)

always felt she was kinda like the long lost sister of weird al and bobcat goldthwait; arcane humor + raucous stage presence + accordion

RIP - a loyal love slave

Weird Al tweeted out the sweetest memoriam for her, too.

She was part of that wave of 80's comedians: Judy, Bobcat Goldthwait, Emo Philips, Pee Wee Herman, Steven Wright, Sam Kinison, and many others who distinguished themselves by speaking in a unique manner. I mean they were funny in their own right but they needed that gimmick at first.
