"Ever since I was a little girl, I loved to be on stage and take on a character, which is why I chose 'the Poodle', because, like me, they're sassy, smart, and best in show. I come from a musical family, but I'm known for a different kind of talent. 415 stand up! My whole career has been about exercising my right to free speech. But it's time I return to my musical roots to show the world a side of me it's never seen before. To figure me out, you're going to have to work!"

"Being on stage last time was so cathartic. I love being anonymous. I mean, I could have been someone you've known for years and you'd have no idea. I'm excited to be here another week, but I have to be flawless to do this role of the poodle justice. Whenever I want to practice new material, I turn to my best friends. Why did the apple turn red? It saw the salad dressing. So what's the verdict? Tonight in my new persona, I'll be soaring to new heights despite it being my biggest fear. So please, catch me if I fall."
