Liz Grant's Short-ish Bio
Liz is grateful to have been born to her then impoverished, hippie parents (“I raised them myself”) because they taught her to think outside the circle. Amid all the family chaos, they took her to many creative happenings in the SF Bay Area, including puppet shows by weirdos. Her imagination was fired.
There was no diagnosis of ADHD back then, it was just called “annoying”. Liz had to learn how to use The Force to channel her energies into spot-on impressions such as Smeagol/Gollum from The Hobbit album. This quickly made her the scariest and funniest tomboy dork in the third grade.
As a teenager comedy was her rock n’ roll, thanks to radio show host Alex Bennett (The Quake, 105.3), who produced on air stand-up shows. She’s still inspired by the comic greats who passed through including Dana Gould, Patton Oswalt, Carlos Alazraqui, Jake Johannsen and Brian Regan.
After twenty nine years of sobriety, two divorces, two businesses, twenty years as a massage therapist and being hired as dating coach, Liz is never without hilarious stories and impressions.
One of the many times at The Throckmorton in Mill Valley that I got to hang out with Dana Carvey. What a warm and wonderful dude! Here we are pretending to be listening a story another comic was telling, but obviously I broke character.
I was a winner of the Brian Regan Impression Contest. And in my not-so-humble-brag, he said I did such a good job imitating him that he went back to watch his original joke and said that I nailed it. He said we’re kindred spirits, and I feel the same way.
