She's Gorgeous, which includes singing and accompaniment, and a weekly show called Cabernet Cabaret at Club Cumming. Both shows are performed with her frequent collaborator, Henry Koperski, who accompanies her on the piano.[3][6] Her performances were described by Madeleine Aggeler of The Cut as "a spinning, glittery, Technicolor explosion".[1] She also co-hosts a monthly comedy show called It's a Guy Thing with Patti Harrison and Mitra Jouhari.[2] As an actress, she has appeared on comedy series such as High Maintenance, Broad City, Search Party, and What We Do in the Shadows.[1]
