Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Pryce grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood in Sacramento, the oldest of four children. Childhood dyslexia made school difficult, but she compensated by learning to make her mother and classmates laugh by impersonating her teachers.[1][2]

Pryce has four children .[3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Pryce began performing stand-up comedy at age 22.[2][3] Sacramento magazine called her comedy "brazen and fearless" for not shying away from risqué and R-rated material while still focusing on topics such as family life and children. Pryce commented to an interviewer for Capital Public Radio that "I have a family and I talk about them in not a family-act way," joking that she wouldn't let her children listen to her act until they were over 21.[4] She has frequently toured with Dave Attell, and cites both Attell and Rosie O’Donnell among her comedic influences.[1][5]

From 2003 to 2006, she hosted a morning show on KWOD-FM in Sacramento with Boomer Barbosa, Ian Gary and DJ Mervin, which ended when the station was sold and changed format.[6][7][2]

Pryce joined Lopez Tonight in 2010, writing topical and political monologues and skits, and occasionally performing in sketches.[4][8]

In 2012, she performed in New York for the stand-up series NickMom Night Out.[9]

She appeared on Last Comic Standing in 2014, making it to the third round of the invitationals.[3][10]

She appeared in the 2015 TLC series What She Said, which featured female comedians commenting on motherhood and other issues.[11]
