About Me

Regina's original musical comedy premiered at Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania in November 2017. The New World was an incredible experience with an extremely talented creative team comprised of Regina, her writing partner L.F.

In 2012, Regina was crowned the new winner in the Ladies of Laughter competition, thereby joining the ranks of the many fabulous female comics who came before her. She was a Semi-Finalist in the 2012 She-Devil Comedy Festival in NYC. Regina was voted Lower Hudson Valley’s Funniest Person in 2011.
