ABOUT THE COMEDIANs
Diane Amos is a nationally famous actor, comedian and improv artist. For the past 20 years, Diane has been “The Pine Sol Lady” in the company’s national commercials. Diane received San Francisco Comedy Day’s Legend Award. Her television appearances include A& E’s Evening at The Improv, Lifetime’s Girls’ Night Out and Comedy Central’s Women Aloud. Fun fact: Diane has been a winner on the game shows: Wheel of Fortune, $25,000 Pyramid, and Super Password. Diane is the mother of two and says much of her success today comes from the example set by her mother. "My mother was a single mom who was a feminist way before the feminist thing. My mother taught me to be fearless and showed me how that can open doors.”

ABOUt who’s your mami comedy
Who’s Your Mami Comedy was created as a hilariously trenchant response to misogyny in the comedy industry. But in the upside down new normal Brava’s women-led, rotating line up of deeply funny, culturally diverse, subversive comedians will mix truths with hot takes, a little raunch, and a mega dose of ‘red hat’ unfriendly weaponized wit aiming where no punchline has gone before.
