Comedians

Caroline Picard

Winner of Hysterical Management's Comedian of the Year and a nationally and internationally touring comic for 11 years, this Louisiana-bred lady is fueled by ice cold beer, gumbo, B-B-Q, natural talent and "Attitude for Days". She calls her style of comedy "WSIWYG", WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET". "Hell, I'm 51, I'm all grown up, I'll say what I want, why? Because I can. I've paid my dues, in more ways than one. I've worked for the phone company, most major Oil and Gas corporations as an Executive Financial Secretary, and I've run my own

restaurant. I've been laid off, downsized, and with the restaurant, lost everything I owned. I can still do the same things now that I did when I was 20, evidently I didn't get that "Now that you're over 51 you die" memo. If I did, I damn well didn't pay attention to it." "If you are easily offended, then leave my planet, it's time to grow up and get your head out of the sand".

Please don't let the fifty-one and female fool you, this lady can perform in any venue, and has on many occasions. She is considered one of the finest "cross-over" headliners in the business. She has performed in front of African-American, Latino, Northern, Southern, Mid-Western, Southwestern audiences, as well as all age groups. Her audiences age can be from 21 to 70, no matter what, they will all relate to "the Queen". Cajun people fit in any culture. Even Canadian audiences love "The Cajun Queen". "Hell my people were thrown out of Nova Scotia for God's sake, we are still considered exiles in Canada, so I have to make sure these people are laughing" (See enclosed article from the Toronto Star). "When I remind them that Cajun means "French-Acadian", it opens them up to me just a little bit more." "I really don't care what your circumstances or your bank account is, people are all the same. We all have one thing in common, we are human, that is the common denominator. It's not anything more than that. All of us have to exist on the planet, we all eat, sleep, pay bills, raise children, etc.

Before "The Osbournes" there was "The Queen". Caroline has been called, "The Janis Joplin" of stand-up because of her honesty and rawness on stage. She feels that race is really not the issue, it's just a matter of language, and I happen to speak the right language." "I haven't appeared on TV yet, but that's only a matter of time. I have been told that I am too "old", too dirty, female comics aren't a draw, blah, blah, blah." "Yeah-whatever, this is not my first rodeo, I have been working since I was 18. I have held many positions during my life, which is why my audiences can relate to my show. I know what they've been through. I should, I've been through it myself, many times." "What I really love is when the youngbloods "get it". When young people in her show come by an tell her that she reminds them of their grandmother, she politely reminds them "Remember kids your granny did acid, don't piss her off".

Caroline completed her fourth military tour in December. A favorite with the troops, Caroline has performed in Ramstein and Semback AB in Germany, Darmstadt Army Base, Darmstadt Germany, La Madelina Navy Base, La Madelina, Italy, Sigonella Base, Sicily, Osan S. Korea, Navy Seoul, Okinawa, as well as Tokyo, Atsugi, Hiroshima, Sasebo, Iwakuni, Yukota, Camp Zuma, and Yokuoska Bases in Japan.
