Meet Sheryll
I started stand-up at 40. Best mid-life crisis ever.
Honestly, I've been doing stand-up my whole life — in line at the grocery store, at parent-teacher conferences, and to every client who ever asked if we could just knock down a load-bearing wall. The only thing that changed on my 40th birthday was finding a stage that would pay me for it.
Wife. Boy mom of three. Everybody's auntie, with half my family in Las Vegas and the other half in Norway. Yes, I still sell houses, and yes, that's where half the material comes from.
