In her comedy, she talks about everything from her Russian Family, World Travel, and marrying a younger guy, to her favorite topic: dogs. The three-week military tour for Armed Forces Entertainment she did was one of the greatest honors of her life. She entertained troops on 15 military bases and five countries across Europe. 

She's the co-founder of the Love's a Joke tour, in which America's top comedy couples (married, divorced, cheating, what have you) perform around the country. She founded it with her husband but she does most of the work because she's the woman.

Max Cohen

Max's comedy career spans over 15 years. He's performed on five continents and too many states to remember. He is a regular panelist on John Fugelsang’s show Tell Me Everything on SiriusXM, and his albums Operation: Pastrami Sandwich and Love's a Joke are also played regularly on SiriusXM. He previously co-hosted the podcast Shut It Down! The Bar Rescue Recap Show and was featured on an episode of Bar Rescue on Paramount Network.

He brings the confusions and bewilderments of his life from the family dinner table to stages such as the Gotham Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, and Stand Up NY. He was a semifinalist in The Great Long Island Laugh Off.  Max has appeared in the New Orleans Comedy Arts Festival, Laughing Devil Comedy Festival, the SENE Film, Music & Arts Festival, and the Key West Comedy Festival.

He is also the co-producer of the Love's a Joke tour with his wife Vicky Kuperman, which means he just does what she tells him.
