"Abbate has a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. She's as sweet as a perfumed eviction notice or a sugar-coated bullet.”
- LA Times
The headliner—Andrea Abbate—who stole the show. With four marriages under her belt, a handful of kids, and a heart full of humor, Andrea had us all in stitches. She talked about raising her brother’s kids while he was in prison that didn’t glamorize the rough path her brother took. To make sure they didn’t follow in their father’s path, she taught them “snitches get riches,” so that no one would want them in their gang or on their crew team because if they got caught – everyone would be. Her humor is both dark and uplifting, and it’s clear her heart is as big as her talent.
