Kiki
After 20 years of bringing humor into her psychology practice as a Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist, Kiki decided it was time to pursue comedy in its own right.

Quickly becoming a favorite in the Triangle, Kiki is known for her hilarious observations of human behavior, her outspoken love of being naked, and for working out her emotional issues in a group therapy session with the audience.
