Lisa Koch
(demented singer/songwriter/comedian/Britney Spears body-double...)
Picture the triangulated love child of Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin, and Karen
Carpenter... and you've got Lisa Koch. An irreverent Seattle singer/comedian,
Koch ("Coke") is a deliciously twisted mix of comedy, theater, and demented
songs. She has 4 solo recordings, is one-half of hilarious sketch-comedy duo,
Dos Fallopia ("My Breasts Are Out of Control""), and is an alumnus of cult
quartet Venus Envy ("I'll Be A Homo for Xmas").
Lisa has co-written such warped shows as "The Carpeters: Uncomfortably Close
To You," "Two's Company, I'm a Crowd," and "Ham for the Holidays: Swine, Women
and Song." She also finds time to work as an actor, appearing in "The Vagina
Monologues," "Dirty Blonde," and as the Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard
of Oz" (5th Ave Theatre). She performs regularly on Olivia Cruises, is touring
her one-woman cabaret show, "Return to Planet Lisa", and is the composer of a
new musical about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas ("27, rue de Fleurus"),
premiering Off-Broadway in March 2008. Koch's latest CD ("Tall Cool Drink")
contains the viral hit, "I'm a Middle-Aged Woman." (www.heylisa.com)

"Hearing Seattle's Lisa Koch is one of life's wickedest
pleasures..."
- Curve Magazine
"Koch seems to have that sense of joi de vivre that makes her instantly
likeable. She's an out lesbian with a universal appeal..."
