As I posted in the Leftovers section Jay Leno is doing a free comedy show for the unemployed residents of the city of Detroit. Great gesture, right? Well, Councilwoman Martha Reeves is pissed off as to why Leno is doing the show in the suburbs rather than the city. At first I had the mentality of “beggars can’t be choosers”, but then I googled Martha Reeves, and I think Leno better rethink a venue change, because I wouldn’t want to mess with Martha…

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Ouch, Nads, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas are responsible for “Dancing In The Street” and “(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave” and “Jimmy Mack”, she’s a bit of a legend of Motown and girl-groups.
