Perhaps the finest Chicana-Samoan- Irish-African-Chic-Chick, American comic working today, Adria adheres to an open-hearted live and let live philosophy. Her children look like the souvenir collection from a BrAngelina world tour. Her household makes a Benneton catalogue look like a tribute to homogeny. This woman does more for diversity by nine a.m. then Jesse Jackson does all day. Skittles, Baby: Taste the rainbow! But this woman’s levity is not to be taken lightly. As a comic, Adria addresses serious issues. Working from her personal experience and her supportive relationships with family and friends, she takes on breast cancer, epilepsy and other difficult and challenging subjects with such a masterful wit and self-confident comfort that she remains a joy to watch even as she delves into the darkest of topics. "Of all the people I have told to NOT pack up and move, to follow a pipe dream, Adria is the FIRST I have told to MOVE as SOON AS POSSIBLE to realize hers...Hers is a natural talent!" ~Dr. J.L.O'Connor, Ed.S. "Adria is a thinkers comic. She can get you to laugh and think at the same time!" ~ Comedian Tom Matthews Adria supports Breast Cancer Awareness, as well as Epilepsy research.This user has not entered a description yet.
