Things you hear at a Mary Tischbein performance...
"The hilarious Long Island Mary is opening for
me at McCurdy's in Sarasota tonight. See you there!"
Elayne
Boosler, Comedian
"Long Island Mary has been a working comic for
a while and people love her. She has that likeability factor. You can't learn it. You either have it or you don't."
Les McCurdy, Performer and Owner, McCurdy's Comedy Theatre
"I always knew you were funny, but GodDAMN."
Allan Dempsey, Comedian
"I think you're funnier than Lindsay Lohan giving sobriety
tips!"

Sarasota

Red, a fan, at Soldier City Saloon

She's funny!"
Stranger talking to my

"Mary! Not only are you a funny comic, you're
nice off stage and a great marketer.... you kicked ass on and off stage! nuff said!"
Rene Harte, Owner, Improv Comedy Clubs
"You could feel the magic in the room; the audience
knew they were part of comedy history with the performances of Long Island Mary and Robin Savage. It would be like seeing
Joan Rivers live in person back in the 60’s at the start of her career."
Hank Western, Comedian
"You kicked ass!"
