The Importance of Photography with Wendy Maybury
Wendy’s report cards always said, “Wendy shares too much with her neighbors and disrupts the class.”
What they should have said was, “Wendy would be an awesome comedian!”
Wendy loves to make people laugh by entertaining them with stories about her crazy Southern family and life’s little embarrassments.
She placed second in the Funniest Person with a Day Job contest, and was voted by her peers as “Favorite New Comic & Favorite Female Comic.”
She has performed at clubs, schools, corporate events and even at a wedding!
Whether she’s in a dive bar, or opening for Louie Anderson for several thousand people at the Minneapolis convention center, Wendy Maybury is a comedic force to be reckoned with.
Wendy is a comedy superstar in the making, so catch her while she’s still humble and gives hugs after the show.
