Linda Hopkins

You're not quite sure what to think when Linda Hopkins steps on the stage. From all appearances, you'd really expect to see her at a PTA meeting rather than comedy club. But as she begins you realize she's right where she belongs. Good natured and to the point, she puts her own unique spin on this thing called "reality", which is sarcastic and just this side of cynical. If life is a series of lessons, Linda is in the back of the class making smart ass remarks to her friends. Born and raised in Houston Texas, she could only qualify for a Southern "Liberty" belle because she's just a little cracked. Being a tomboy, she realized that playfully teasing the boys was fun and they enjoyed the attention. After growing up, they still do. Linda is the middle child of a typically dysfunctional family but doesn't put much stock in therapy unless it comes with a cover charge and a two drink minimum. Always trying to fit in, she's your typical misfit (though she prefers the term "tragically un-hip") but always delightfully funny. Linda's humor is built around her own shortcomings, her wacky ex-husband, the pitfalls of being a "Martha Stewart" wanna be and just trying find her place in this great big world. Her material ranges from squeaky clean to periwinkle blue and draws on her worldly naiveté. If she seems like a walking paradox, you can blame it on her writing team, even if they all live in her head.
