“Poppy was a freakin’ ball of comedic thunder,” says one fan. “The best comedian I have seen since Whoopi Goldberg,” says another.
Poppy Champlin’s stand-up experience is extensive: from winning America’s Funniest Real Woman on The Joan Rivers Show, then featured on Entertainment Tonight.

Poppy has opened for such comics as Ray Ramano, Denis Leary, Bill Maher, Bill Hicks and Rosie O’Donnell.
Her club appearances range from Gotham Comedy Club in NYC the Comedy Cellar and The Improvs, Laugh Factory and all in between. Poppy also is a regular on Olivia cruises and in Provincetown.
She started performing in Rhode Island went out to LA and has now returned.

Once in LA, Poppy continued to perform stand-up as well as study acting at the Larry Moss studios.
After coming out as a lesbian on stage in 2001, Champlin also created her own tour called The Queer Qomedy Queens, now in it’s twelfth year and she travels all over the country with this tour.

Poppy’s observational style of humor tackles tough subjects with ease. In this comedienne’s hands we can laugh at life’s most formidable perils… and laughter that ravages fear is the best kind of all.
